Rabou canyon (Gap, Hautes-Alpes)

Description

Imagine jumping into large pools of clear water, sliding down slides sculpted by a river over thousands of years. That's the setting! To get there, a small dead-end road leads to a village perched above the torrent, with mountains and ancient forests.

This is the canyon of Rabou, located in the Dévoluy massif, in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes department, some twenty minutes' drive east of Gap.

This is undoubtedly the region's most entertaining canyoning route. Ideal for families, it's a sure bet! Everything is designed to put you at your ease, with large and small slides, pretty jumps (up to 8 meters high, but never mandatory) to make or bypass as you please - it's up to you! Finally, a magnificent abseil down a waterfall brings you to a monumental final basin.

The Rabou canyon is perfect for families (children aged 8 and over) or for a good time with friends!

Practice days: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, mornings or afternoons.
