Whatever your level, we’ve got you covered !
The canyons around Clermont-Ferrand are just waiting for you : swim, jump and slide in the basins, abseil ! And above all, make the most of the magnificent setting !
Bertrand, our guide, will make sure you get a taste for it by taking you to the Cornillou Canyon, suitable for all levels !
What exactly is canyoning ?
Canyoning is a natural activity related to caving, hiking, climbing and mountaineering on the one hand, and white-water sports on the other. It involves progressing along the bed of a river in sections where it flows through narrow gorges or ravines. You’ll find waterfalls of varying heights, and a succession of jumps and slides.
When can I start ?
You’ll be practicing in rivers, so watch out for the cold ! Don’t worry, we’ll provide you with wetsuits. The canyoning season often starts in May, at the end of the ice melt, so that the river can flow normally again.
What equipment do I need ?
Bring your swimsuit, spiked shoes and a towel. We’ll provide you with a helmet, wetsuit and harness.
Is it accessible to beginners ?
Yes, of course ! The Cornillou canyon is accessible to beginners from the age of 10.
