Where can you go canyoning in the Verdon?
The Verdon is one of the top destinations for canyoning in France. From family-friendly routes to fun canyons and more challenging descents, there’s a route to suit everyone’s ability. The Canyon Guides’ Office helps beginners, families and experienced canyoneers choose the canyon best suited to their preferences and the current conditions.
Choosing a canyon to suit your ability
Not all canyons offer the same experience. Some are ideal for first-timers, whilst others are suited to those seeking a greater challenge. The guides take into account your experience, your fitness level and the natural conditions to help you choose the most suitable route.
Trails for families and children
The Verdon also offers family-friendly routes. The Kids Canyon allows younger children to gradually discover canyoning in a safe and suitable environment. The guides select the routes based on the children’s ages, their comfort levels in the water and the conditions on the day, so that everyone can enjoy the outing to the full.
Canyons for beginners
If you’ve never tried canyoning before, there are several routes that offer a gentle introduction to the sport. The guides take the time to explain the techniques for moving through the canyon, put participants at ease and adjust the pace so that everyone can enjoy the activity with confidence.
Adventure trails for thrill-seekers
For enthusiasts looking for a greater challenge, the Verdon also offers more technical canyons featuring abseils, natural slides, water crossings and optional jumps. The guides will choose the most suitable canyon based on your ability and the conditions on the day.
Why use a local guide?
Conditions in a canyon are constantly changing depending on the weather and water levels. Local guides know the various routes inside out and choose each trip based on the best conditions for safety and enjoyment. Their experience also enables them to recommend the canyon that best suits your expectations.
How do you choose the best canyon in the Verdon?
The best canyon depends, above all, on your profile. A family with young children will not have the same expectations as a group of keen sports enthusiasts. That is why the Canyon Guides’ Office will advise you before you book, to help you choose the route best suited to your ability, your preferences and the conditions on the day.
