YOUR CANYON WITH AILÉMENTS

Course of your canyoning trip

From Cap d'Antibes to the gorges: your outing step by step

The appointment - GPS coordinates of the car park sent by text message the day before. From Antibes, allow 35 to 45 minutes on the road to Grasse and the Gorges du Loup. A journey well worth the diversions.

The equipment - On site, your guide will provide you with all your equipment: 5 mm neoprene wetsuit, helmet, harness, lanyard and descender. Everything is adjusted to your body size, so all you need to bring is your swimming costume and your energy.

Topo - Your qualified guide will show you the basics: jumping, abseiling, communicating in the canyon. It's concrete, visual and builds confidence.

The approach - It's a 10-30 minute walk to the entrance of the canyon. The scenery changes with every step as the Pre-Alps close in around you.

The descent - First natural slide, first laugh. Your guide leads the way, and you follow at your own pace. Each jump is a choice, never an obligation. You have fun, you push yourself, you breathe.

The return - Out of the canyon, a short climb back up, back to the cars. The smiles say it all. If you've opted for the video option, pick up your footage to prolong the memory.
