Description
I invite you to discover the Réallon canyon. Located near Serre-Ponçon lake, on the edge of the Écrins National Park, this deep gorge surrounded by wilderness offers a technical route. It is a challenging itinerary, with waterfalls up to 45 meters high!
During the day, we will be progressing as a team, and you will become an active participant in our progress.
If you are looking for adventure and discovery, this off-the-beaten-track canyon awaits you for an unforgettable experience!
The trip takes around 6 hours and can be completed by people who have not necessarily done canyoning before. You will need to be at least athletic to complete the one-hour uphill approach walk, and be comfortable hiking in the mountains. You must be at least 16 years old and be able to swim. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any medical problems.
