Ecouges canyon : lower part (Vercors)

Description

Located in the Vercors massif, the Écouges canyon is surely one of the most beautiful canyons in the region!

This very wild, complete and famous canyon starts with two beautiful abseils (of 30 meters maximum) which precede a more ludic part. Indeed, a succession of toboggans and jumps in beautiful natural pools follow one another, interspersed with some other abseiling descents, like the one of "la vrille" (the spin), this spectacular abseiling-slide which makes you go down in a tube!

• The lower part can also be done during the day if we go down further in the river. A formula that is more like a short but full day!
• The complete Ecouges (upper and lower part) is also possible for the more athletic. The upper part being very steep and technical, you need to know how to abseil and have experience in canyoning.

Don't hesitate if you want more information about these two outings.

The pictures of the outing are offered.

 

If you want to enjoy other descents around Grenoble after this canyoning session, I recommend the spectacular Infernet canyon in Chartreuse and the upper part of the Furon canyon also in the Vercors and close to the city.
