Ecouges full canyon

Description: Les Ecouges is THE flagship canyon of the Vercors, considered one of the most beautiful.

The upper section, reserved for experienced canyoners comfortable with rappelling, takes place in a narrow and particularly scenic canyon. The final 60-meter waterfall is the highlight of this descent.

The lower section, more open and playful, offers some scenic rappels, but above all, numerous jumps and natural slides.

Activity Itinerary:

At the parking lot, your instructor will provide you with all the necessary equipment (more information on the equipment provided and what you need to bring can be found here).

We will then make a shuttle to the canyon’s starting point.

Then the descent begins. The itinerary includes 13 rappels ranging from 5 to 60 meters, with increasing difficulty. The waterfalls are cascaded, so it is essential to be comfortable with rappelling and not afraid of heights. Several deep pools punctuate the route, which ends with a 60-meter waterfall offering an incredible view of the valley.

Once finished, the parking lot is a 10-minute walk away. This is a good opportunity for a picnic before continuing the descent of the lower section.

In another 10 minutes, you reach the river for two rappels of 10 and 25 meters. Then you enter a more playful section with numerous jumps and slides. The route ends with a short 10-meter rappel, known as “the twist.” The return trip takes 20 minutes.
