What is canyoning ?
Canyoning, or downhill canyoning, is a wilderness sport related to abseiling, water hiking, climbing. The activity consists of descending into the bed of a stream or into narrow gorges or ravines, whose water volume may vary from low to high, ranging from dry canyons to aquatic canyons.
It is often a progression of cascades in cascades of varied heights (max 350 m in metropolitan France). Whether it is cashed or not, we’ll have to jump and slide in basins suspended in the middle of the landscape, abseiling down steep walls, and others climbing along the bed of the stream.
