Accessible to all, with canyons of varying levels of difficulty, canyoning transforms ordinary hiking into an adventure.  Jump, swim, slide…no matter what your age, you will love the challenge.  Accompanied by trained guides who assure your safety, you will discover the magical and the unsuspected in these extraodinary surroundings.  For beginners, canyoning generally means a combination of hiking and swimming, a safe, easy adventure and a favourite for kids.  For the athletes and the adventurers, canyoning can take more challenging forms, with descents into « potholes, » rock formations carved out by the rivers, creating natural pools.  Between these two extremes, you will find a many options of varying levels of difficulty.  A great activity not to be missed !
