Infos & BookingDescription
I invite you to come, refresh yourself and have fun during this canyoning/water trekking course which takes place in the exceptional setting of the Loup gorges, one of the most beautiful rivers of the Alpes-Maritimes department.
All along the outing you will enjoy a very playful descent, a mix of hiking and white water, with many jumps in bassins and slides in natural toboggans. The obstacles (which can always be bypassed and are therefore not mandatory) are very progressive in terms of difficulty: you start with jumps of 50 centimeters and the final for the bravest, provided you have perfectly integrated the jumping techniques, can go up to 10 meters high! This aquatic hike does not require the use of a rope, for example to make abseils. You just have to swim, slide and jump in the crystal-clear waters of the Loup river.
The descent will be adapted to the group level: I will pick from the multitude of jumps, slides and swimming passages where you float on your back (helped by the neoprene suit which increases buoyancy quite a lot) while taking the time to admire the magnificent environment, in order to make the best possible outing.
In family with the children (from the age of 8 years old) or with a group of sportsmen/sportswomen, this descent will leave nobody disappointed and will not traumatize anybody!
If you are looking for more great canyoning trips in the Alpes-Maritimes, you can follow me on:
- the Gours du Ray discovery canyon in Gréolières,
- the aquatic and fun canyon of Saint-Auban,
- the aesthetic Riolan canyon in Sigale,
- and Bollène canyon in the Vésubie valley.
But you can also let yourself be tempted by "dry" vertical adventures a little further north in the Verdon gorges, such as the dry canyon of Mainmorte or the via corda of the "Trou du Renard".
