Description

In the heart of the Cévennes mountains, close to Mont Aigoual and the village of Les Rousses, the Tapoul gorges canyon is a concentration of adventure and thrills. Considered one of the region's finest aquatic outings, this canyon is a veritable natural aqualand. You will be amazed by the diversity and sequence of its workshops, which are both varied and surprising.

Indeed, during this canyoning trip, you will be able to make numerous jumps of varying heights and technical difficulty. Of course, none of these jumps are mandatory, and you will always be offered a fun alternative to get past these obstacles. You will go on to cross waterfalls, natural slides, astonishing potholes and even a few swimming sections to complete the course. The play of light and shade through the chestnut trees and ferns adds a unique atmosphere to this canyon in the Tapoul gorges!

For this activity, you need to be able to swim and be in reasonable physical condition.
Remember to bring your swimsuit and sneakers.
The canyoning trip is open to teenagers aged 12 and over.
The shuttle bus fare (4.50€) is included in the price.

You can combine this canyoning trip with the fun Tapoul gorges via ferrata for a full day's activity on site! (Cévennes package, Tapoul canyon and via ferrata: from 85€)

If you are interested in other canyoning routes in the Cévennes, I also suggest the nearby Bramabiau canyon.
