Description

Join me for a canyoning descent of the Chassezac river, an adventure that will allow you to discover spectacular landscapes in the heart of the Cévennes. This guided canyoning trip promises a day full of excitement!

Throughout the descent, you will admire the deep gorges of the Chassezac river as you navigate its crystal-clear waters. You will slide down natural water toboggans, drift with the current, jump into natural pools (up to 5 meters high, but the jumps are never mandatory), rappel down waterfalls, and swim amidst pristine nature in crystal-clear waters, creating 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 trip 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 14 years old, be able to swim and weigh less than 110 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.

If you have less time, it is possible to explore the 2 sections of this route independently: the canyon of the Haut Chassezac gorges and the aquatic hike of the Bas Chassezac.
