Riolan
One of the most beautiful canyons in Europe!
The Riolan is renowned for the beauty of its "biefs", long stretches of swimming between very high walls. The river can be quite violent at the start of the season (June), but becomes increasingly tranquil from the end of July onwards, making it accessible to less sporty types. In all cases, aesthetically or athletically, there's something for everyone.
