Nature activities in the canyon

Come and discover canyoning in a different way, far from the crowds and in a magnificent natural setting. Through treasure hunts and short activities, you'll learn more about the fauna, flora, and geology of the Vercors canyons. An adventure accessible to everyone, from age 7 and up.

Join us for a canyoning adventure and discover the local biodiversity. Depending on the location, you’ll participate in a treasure hunt, challenges as you navigate obstacles, or short activities.

Due to technical and safety constraints (cold conditions in canyons, difficulty levels, etc.), we select canyons better suited to nature-based activities, meaning shorter and less technically challenging. We adapt to your preferences and cater to different audiences: individuals, schools, businesses, and professionals. Discover the themes explored during our outings.
