Description

Join me for a canyoning adventure in the Barberine canyon, a fun and introductory canyon located in Vallorcine, in the upper Chamonix valley, just before the Swiss border.

If you are looking for a water activity in the heart of our beautiful mountains, whether you are athletic or a beginner, with family or friends, I recommend discovering the incredible natural pools of the Barberine stream. The route can be adapted to your abilities, whether you want to have fun or push your limits.

Throughout the canyoning descent, you will experience a series of slides down natural water toboggans, jumps (up to 7 meters high but never mandatory), and rappels of up to 25 meters, perfect for beginners. But don't worry, a path runs alongside the canyon, allowing you to bypass any obstacles if needed.

This small canyon, perfect for beginners, offers all the elements of canyoning: waterfalls to descend with a rope, natural slides, and jumps in refreshingly cool water.

This activity is suitable for people aged 11 and over who know how to swim.
