Pont du Diable canyon (Bauges massif, Savoie)

Duration : ½ day

France, Northern Alps

Level : intermediate

from 49 € / p. from 4 to 10 persons

Description

Ideally located in the Bauges massif in Savoie, the Pont du Diable canyon is short, very steep and very aquatic.

After a rather quiet start, you arrive in a superb and deep gorge which offers a sequence of abseils, possible jumps (one of them of 10 meters optional), sporty passages with handrail and swimming sections. In the narrowest passages, you are dominated by cliffs more than 50 meters high, which gives an incredible and spectacular atmosphere to this canyon.

This sumptuous work of erosion is to be experienced without moderation!

If you feel like other canyoning aquatic descents, you can follow me in the nearby Ternèze-Boyat canyon, or in the lower part of the Versoud canyon in the Vercors massif.
