Canyoning is an exhilarating white water ride down gorges and waterfalls. You run or slide down wet slabs of rock, jump off blind escarpments, scramble up rocks, splash around in pools and abseil down drops.
Check out our canyoning album of Sale Sharks Professional Rugby Players who came for a pre-season team building weekend with Undiscovered Alps.
There are a range of canyons in the area - all with different characters - some with a series of big waterfalls to others with fun slides and jumps.
Have a look at our little video of one of the local canyons!
Our guides are very experienced, fully qualified UIAGM high mountain guides who know the canyons in the region extremely well. They will choose the best canyon for you and the conditions when you are here. They will look after you in the canyon, make sure you are safe and ensure you have lots of fun!
What better way to wipe the cobwebs away than by plunging off waterfalls into cold water!
We can organise a day or half a days canyoning for you as part of a multi activity holiday or just as a single activity.
Or for keen canyoners why not spend the week trying out different ones.
The best time of year to go canyoning is in the late spring and summer, when there is a good amount of water from the melting snow and ice and the sun is hot! However, too much water can be dangerous in some canyons. Our guides will take into account local conditions when choosing the best canyon to take you down.
To do most canyons, you must be over 10. For some more difficult canyons the age limit is 14 and for the longer technical canyons it is 16.
There is a kiddie canyon suitable for younger children in the region that is possible as a day trip combined with a children's via ferrata. It is great for children aged 6 - 11.
