In a nutshell
Come and perfect your technique (jumps, slides and rappelling) in the canyons of the Alps and the Maurienne valley. The idea here is to progress and learn new techniques, and become more confident in your canyoning outings while discovering ever more beautiful itineraries !
Roadbook
Canyoning in the Alps is an original way to discover the often secret beauty of mountain rivers.
Depending on the difficulty of the canyon chosen, it can be a fun family outing or a much more sporting one, but either way, one thing’s for sure: it’s pure fun !
Who doesn’t love swimming, jumping and sliding in crystal-clear water ?
But there’s even more to discover, and that’s the aim of this 3-day course :
How to “read” the watercourse, where are the dangers ? When is it safe to start ?
Whitewater progression techniques
Safety and group dynamics
Rope handling, rappelling and other techniques adapted to the whitewater environment.
Program
Day 1 :
– Briefing, equipment distribution, at our office in Val Cenis Sollières
– First outing: a simple, fun canyon
– Training in rope handling, on cliffs or via-ferrata
Rappelling techniques, handrail installation, progression techniques, etc. will be taught.
Day 2 :
Application day !
In one or two canyons, we’ll put into practice the techniques learned the day before.
Proposed canyons: canyon sec d’Aussois, canyon de La Norma, Canyon du Petit Mont-Cenis.
Day 3 :
We take to the water for a long day in a classic canyon of the Haute-Maurienne Vanoise region.
You don’t have to be a canyoning pro to take this course ! Just curiosity and the desire to discover a new environment, its secrets and techniques.
You must be at least 13 years old, and of course be able to swim.
No previous experience of canyoning or rope handling is required.
You don’t need to be a top-level athlete either, but a minimum level of fitness will ensure that you enjoy long days in the water to the last drop !
