Antibes · 06Between Cap d'Antibes, Old Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, you wouldn't imagine that 45 minutes only the Gorges du Loup offer one of the most beautiful grounds canyoning of the 06.

The ultimate summer activity, canyoning appeals to families and groups of friends alike: you progress along the bed of a mountain stream, navigating slides and pools, with everyone choosing their own level of commitment.

From Antibes, 45 minutes is enough to reach the Gour du Ray or the Loup canyon near Grasse. The chosen canyon is confirmed the day before by SMS, after analysis of the flow rate and the weather – ensuring a descent in optimal conditions.
This playground is shared with neighbouring towns: people also come here from Cannes and Nice. The outing can easily be extended with a stop in the perched villages or a swim at Cap d'Antibes.
The season runs from May to September, with perfect water conditions in the height of summer. For a day packed with thrills, the paragliding + canyoning combo Pair the morning flight with the afternoon descent.
Beyond the thrills, canyoning is a true immersion in a pristine environment: you navigate the bottom of gorges otherwise inaccessible, between vertiginous walls and clear pools. The jumps, always optional, can be moderated according to your desires; the swimming and tobogganing, however, are universally enjoyed. It is this diversity that makes the activity so addictive, and which encourages many beginners to return and try a more challenging route.
Canyoning depends heavily on water: too much flow after a storm and the outing is postponed, too little and some slides lose their appeal. This is precisely why it's advantageous to be accompanied by professionals who know the watershed: they choose the right canyon at the right time and reschedule the outing at no extra cost if the conditions aren't met. It's a peace of mind you don't get when going alone.
Toboggans, plunges into pools and abseils under waterfalls: a preview of what awaits you, guided by a state-certified instructor. Optional photo and video souvenirs available.
You enter the canyon and the outside world disappears: only the sound of water, the emerald pools and the rock sculpted by floods remain. Slide after slide, jump after abseil, confidence builds – and each passage is navigated at your own pace, never under duress. The video and photos taken by the guide keep a record of these suspended moments.
From family introductions to sports days, a package for every desire. All-inclusive prices: equipment, state-certified guide, and insurance.

The descent continues at the group's pace: a slide, a jump that can be avoided, a rappel secured by the guide, a swim in a pool. Nothing is imposed, everything is framed. You don't need to be athletic: being able to swim 25 metres and stay calm in the water is enough. Back at the car park, it's time for a debrief – and souvenir photos and videos for those who opted in.
To make the most of the descent, come well-rested and hydrated, with snacks for the full-day options. Wear your swimsuit under the wetsuit; bring closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting wet and a change of dry clothes for afterwards.
