Description

I propose you to come and follow me on a canyoning trip down the Haut Chassezac gorges, an adventure that will take you through a spectacular scenery in the heart of the Cévennes. This guided canyoning trip at the foot of Mont Lozère promises to be an exciting day!

All along the way down, you will be able to admire the deep and beautifulgorges of the Chassezac river, as you make your way through its crystal-clear waters. You will slide in natural toboggans, let yourself be carried along by the current, jump into natural pools (up to 5 meters but never mandatory), abseil down waterfalls and swim in beautiful and clear waters surrounded by unspoilt nature for an unforgettable experience.

I will also give you advice on how to improve your various techniques and make the most of this exceptional canyoning adventure.

The outing taking place in the Lozère department is open to anyone in good physical condition (no previous experience is required) and with no medical contraindications to canyoning. You must be at least 10 years old, be able to swim and weigh less than 120 kg.
Please contact me if you have any medical problems.

The schedule is subject to change at the last minute, depending on weather conditions, water levels, number of people registered, etc.

It is possible to complement this route with the Bas Chassezac aquatic hike to complete the entire descent of the Chassezac by canyoning.

If you are interested in other routes in the region, you can follow me down the Haute Borne gorges in Ardèche. You can also vary your sensations by embarking on the Jardin d'Endieu via corda in Berrias-Casteljau.
