Description

Join me on a canyoning trip down the Haute Borne gorges, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and spectacular scenery. You will find plenty of jumps into natural pools, zip lines and abseils.

Located in the north of the Ardèche, this course is a sequence of walking, swimming, jumps and abseils from 5 to 15 meters high, for the perfect mix of exploration, adventure and wilderness.

The canyoning day begins with a 10-minute walk through a beautiful forest before arriving at the river's edge. Once you're kitted out with a neoprene wetsuit, helmet and harness, you're ready to explore the Borne and experience some thrills. I will also show you the natural environment of the canyon and give you information about the local flora and fauna.

The trip lasts around 5 hours, and can be enjoyed by anyone in good physical condition who hasn't necessarily done any canyoning before. You must have no medical contraindications to canyoning, 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 right up to 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 Haut Chassezac gorges in the Cévennes. You can also vary your sensations by embarking on the Jardin d'Endieu via corda in Ardèche.
