Canyoning: adventure among water, rock and wild nature

Canyoning is an outdoor activity that involves descending watercourses using mountaineering techniques.

Streams suitable for this discipline alternate flat sections, where you progress by walking or swimming, with areas rich in pools, waterfalls, jumps and slides created by the inexhaustible imagination of water. It is here that this discipline offers great fun and satisfaction.
With dives, slides, easy sections of climbing and, when necessary, rappelling with a rope, you can overcome these fantastic “obstacles” while enjoying an environment of exceptional beauty.
Canyoning is very suitable for practicing in a group (6/8 people per guide), does not require special skills (just a minimum of comfort in water) and is pleasantly refreshing during the summer months.

Difficulty

Duration

Elevation Change
