The best Canyoning Descents in the French Alps<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Canyoning is a great way to explore some of the French Alps’ most inaccessible yet beautiful landscapes. A canyon with its gushing waterfalls, natural swimming pools and boulders for clambering over is like a huge natural water park. If you enjoy jumping into water, scrambling up rocks and exploring in the great outdoors, you’re going to love canyoning.<\/p>\n

Canyoning is the perfect group activity<\/strong> and there are canyons in the French Alps suitable for all levels of ability. Accompanied by your guide you’ll tackle a descent that suits the expectations of your group. If it’s your first time, you may want to go for an easier randon\u00e9e aquatique<\/em>, or if you’re a bit of a thrill-seeker and you’re confident in the water, you’ll want to tackle a steeper canyon with bigger jumps, abseils and slides. As a rule, if you can swim and you’re over 8 years old, you can go canyoning.<\/p>\n

Gear wise, your canyoning guide will provide you with a full length wetsuit, a harness and a helmet. You should bring swimmers to wear under your wetsuit and some old trainers that still have a bit of grip and you don’t mind getting soaking wet.<\/p>\n
