Adventure day in Tapoul: via ferrata and canyoning

Description

I propose you to combine the Rousses via ferrata with the Tapoul canyon for a full day of activities and adventure in the Cévennes!

You will benefit from a special rate for a full day of two activities in the heart of the Cévennes: in the morning with the fun via ferrata in the Tapoul gorges, and then, after the lunch break, a refreshing dip in the Tapoul canyon!

The Rousses via ferrata is perfect for a first contact with heights. I recommend it for families or for those who want to overcome their apprehension! There are two routes of varying difficulty, but with shared sections, so there is something for everyone.

Just a few meters from the river's edge, this route begins with an initial ascent where two options are available: an easy one on a sloping surface and a difficult one on a slight overhang with no difficulty. The itinérary then merge to cross the river on a 30-meter zip line and climb to a rocky plateau. You can choose to return via another zip line or a fairly vertiginous footbridge, followed by a relatively technical overhanging passage and a monkey bridge. After a short descent, the via continues easily along the river, splits again and ends in a shared section with a monkey bridge, a technical vertical section and a final footbridge.

In the canyoning descent of the Tapoul gorges, you will be able to make a number of 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 the obstacles.  Waterfalls, natural slides, potholes and a few swimming sections 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, be in reasonable physical condition and be at least 12 years old.
Remember to bring your swimsuit and sneakers.

This exciting day out means fewer trips for your activities and a discount!
