The Gorges du Loup - The classic of the Côte d'Azur (2h from Cassis)

 

Via the A8 motorway, the Gorges du Loup represent the best choice for canyoning from Cassis. This star canyon in the Alpes-Maritimes offers a complete, high-quality experience in a spectacular setting of emerald waterfalls and pools.

Why choose the Gorges du Loup?

An exceptional canyon : Optimum professional infrastructure, first-rate safety equipment, top-level supervision. Guaranteed access all year round, unlike some canyons that are subject to seasonal variations in flow.

A variety of routes for everyone: From the family introductory course (from age 8) to the sporting discovery course. A succession of spectacular waterfalls, abseils of up to 15 m, giant slides and optional jumps into crystal-clear water. The classic way to experience all the thrills of canyoning in the best possible conditions.

International reputation : A must-see site, recognised as the benchmark canyon in the Alpes-Maritimes. A memorable experience that fully justifies the 2-hour journey from Cassis.

The Val d'Angouire canyon - The jewel of the Verdon (1h30 from Cassis)

 

Head for Moustiers-Sainte-Marie on the A51. On the heights of the Lac de Sainte-Croix, the Val d'Angouire canyon offers a full day's sport in a spectacular setting. Abseiling down to 25m, jumping, deep pools of turquoise water.

Sports level : A complete 5-hour canyon tour. Ideal for those who enjoy a sporty day out. Accessible in spring (April-June) when the flow is optimal. For 16-year-olds and over.

An exceptional sporting canyon for experts, although the Gorges du Loup offer greater versatility with routes for all levels and year-round accessibility.

Le Haut Jabron canyon - Initiation near Castellane (1h45 from Cassis)

 

Close to Castellane, the Jabron canyon is open all season thanks to its regular water level. A discovery trail with natural slides, jumps and a 12-metre abseil.

Discovery trail : A 3-hour activity, suitable for children aged 7-8 and over. A magnificent half-day in an unspoilt setting in the Alpes de Haute-Provence.

A good introductory option, even if the Gorges du Loup offer a more spectacular setting and a superior infrastructure for an optimal first experience.

Le Saint-Auban canyon - The fun of the Alpes-Maritimes (2h from Cassis)

 

On the Estéron river, the Saint-Auban canyon is one of the most popular in the region. A complete water course with jumps and large slides.

Accessible sporting level : 2h30 of activity in the canyon. Jump up to 8 m and swim in crystal-clear pools.

An interesting fun site with the same journey time as the Gorges du Loup, although the Gorges du Loup remains the reference choice with a greater variety of courses and a more impressive backdrop.
