The Imberguet valley: a vertical, fun canyon

The Imberguet valley is a jewel in the crown of the Vésubie valley. This canyon winds its way between limestone walls sculpted by water, in a wild, mineral atmosphere. An unspoilt site, far from the crowds.

Location:

  • Vésubie Valley, Alpes-Maritimes
  • 30 km from Nice
  • Accessible from Saint-Martin-Vésubie

How to find us :

Course features

A spring canyon

The Imberguet is fed by melting snow. As a result, it flows from March to mid-June, then dries up. So this is a canyon to do at the start of the season.

The benefits of spring :

  • Ideal water flow
  • Full power waterfalls
  • Pleasant temperatures in the gorges
  • Fewer people than in summer

Please note: The canyon becomes impassable from mid-June (lack of water).

In summer, other canyons take over: the Gour du Ray and Gorges du Loup are available from May to October. Do you like big abseils? Discover the Bès-Courmes canyon and its 65m waterfall. Looking for a little adventure? Discover our gift vouchers.
