Infos & BookingDescription
Come with me on a canyoning trip down the Haut Chassezac, an adventure that will take you through spectacular scenery in the heart of the Ardèche. This guided canyoning trip promises to be an exciting day!
Along the way, you will be able to admire the deep gorges of the river Chassezac, as you make your way through its crystal-clear waters. You will cross waterfalls and natural slides, let yourself be carried along by the current, jump into natural pools, abseil down waterfalls and swim in crystal-clear waters surrounded by unspoilt nature for an unforgettable experience.
I will also give you tips on how to improve your techniques and make the most of this exceptional adventure.
The trip is open to anyone in good physical condition (no experience required) and with no medical contraindications to canyoning. You must be at least 12 years old, be able to swim and weigh less than 120 kg.
Please contact me if you have any medical problems.
The schedule is subject to change at the last minute, depending on weather conditions, water levels, number of people registered, etc.
If you are interested in other routes in the region, you can follow me down the Haute Borne gorges in Ardèche. You can also vary your sensations by embarking on the Jardin d'Endieu via corda in Berrias-Casteljau.
