Malvaux family canyon (Foncine-le-Bas, Jura)

Description

Join me for a family canyoning adventure in the Jura mountains with a descent of the Malvaux gorge in Foncine-le-Bas.

This fun activity is perfect for a first canyoning experience. The program includes jumps adapted to each participant's level (though none are mandatory), slides down natural water toboggans, playful passages in crystal-clear water, a siphon, and exploration of the exceptional natural environment of the magnificent Malvaux gorge.

The Malvaux canyon is renowned as one of the most beautiful and fun canyoning routes in the Jura. Accessible to children from 8 years old as well as the most athletic adults, it offers a refreshing and safe adventure.

Highlights:

• A canyoning route accessible to families and experienced adventurers alike.
• Jumps and obstacles that can always be bypassed.
• Clear water and stunning natural scenery.
• An ideal activity for families or groups of friends.
• Guided by a professional.

If you want other canyoning descents in the Jura, I recommend the Coiserette canyon in Saint-Claude and the Langouette gorges canyon in Les Planches-en-Montagne.

And to experience more vertical adventures in the region, you can follow me on the Vouglans lake via ferrata or the Roche au Dade via ferrata.
