Infos & BookingDescription
Come and discover the Rabou canyon, located between Gap and Veynes in the Dévoluy massif.
It's THE fun canyon in the Hautes-Alpes department! On the menu: slides and jumps up to 8 meters (never mandatory) and, to finish, abseiling down a superb waterfall.
The scenery is dazzling, the water transparent. The jumps and slides can be repeated at will. You are on your way to a perfect natural aqualand!
The activity takes around 3 hours, and can be enjoyed by people who have never done canyoning before. You must be at least 8 years old and be able to swim. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any medical problems.
