Frequently asked questions

Do you need to know how to swim?

Being able to move and feeling comfortable in the water is recommended, without being a strong swimmer. The provided neoprene wetsuit ensures good buoyancy and the instructor adapts the route to your group.

What is the minimum age for canyoning?

The Furon and the lower part of the Écouges are accessible from age 10; the Écouges (middle section) from age 12 and the full Écouges from age 15.

Are the jumps compulsory?

No, every jump remains optional: you can always go around on foot or on a slide. You progress at your own pace and in confidence.

What should I bring?

A swimsuit, a towel and closed sports shoes (that can go in the water). For full-day outings, bring a packed lunch and water.
