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 dot the trail, which culminates in a 60-meter waterfall with an incredible view of the valley.

Once you’ve finished, you can reach the parking lot in 10 minutes.

Located 45 minutes from Grenoble, 55 minutes from Valence, and 1 hour 30 minutes from Lyon.
