Gorges du Llech canyon (Eastern Pyrenees)

Description

Located in the Eastern-Pyrenees department, close to the Mediterranean Sea and at the foot of the famous Canigou, the emblematic mountain of the Catalan region, the Llech (pronounced "yèque") is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful canyons in Europe. Its canyoning descent is very intense and thrilling, and is aimed at a well-prepared sporting public. Above all, it takes place in an absolutely magnificent environment, carved out over thousands of years by the Llech river! There is no doubt that this is an itinerary that all outdoor enthusiasts must have tried at some point.

All along the canyoning descent, you alternate slides in superb and well-watered natural toboggans and abseils under waterfalls, perched at a height of tens of meters. The course is playful and varied, with also some moments of walking and swimming in the cool and crystal-clear waters of the Llech river.

During the technical section with sensations, you enjoy jumps from 4 to 9 meters high (never mandatory) to throw yourself in impressive basins, as well as 7 abseils from 5 to 17 meters, not forgetting slides from 2 to 12 meters long, often with evocative names: the washing machine, the S, the surprise slide, etc.

But I would rather not tell you more than that, in order to leave you with a few surprises!

For more comfort and conviviality, the outing is done in small groups of 8 persons maximum.
