Canyoning has been described as Mother’s Nature's water park. Slide down natural toboggan runs carved out over centuries by water, jump into rock pools, and abseil over waterfalls.

Work your way down a watery canyon with your qualified, professional guide. Everything is optional, and there are easy alternatives if there is something that you don’t want to do.

Obstacles: abseils up to 25m, jumps up to 4m, zip line depending on the attendance in the canyon.
Location: At Vallorcine, 25 minutes from Chamonix (transport not included)
Level: 8-9 years old minimum, you need to know how to swim.
Session: 3h in total with 2h of activity and 1h of preparation and access path.
