Activity description

Learn canyoning in Grenoble on this 5-day extreme course in the canyons of the Alps with a qualified and experienced instructor!

This extreme canyoning course in Grenoble is perfectly suited to people looking for thrills, with descents of great verticals and highly aquatic canyons. Every day, the guide will meet you in a mountain range in the Alps, depending on your level of experience and the location of the canyon you'll be discovering (Vercors, Chartreuse or Ecrins). Once you arrive at the meeting point, you'll be equipped and briefed on safety rules. You will then walk to the start of the canyon.

Once in the water, you'll enjoy the surroundings, the descent and the pleasures canyoning has to offer. You'll then have a picnic in the middle of the canyon to build up your strength for the rest of the descent. At the end of the canyon, you'll return to the cars and remove your equipment!

During your 5-day course, you'll be canyoning in the Vercors, the Chartreuse and the Écrins mountains. You'll practice in a variety of canyons in the Alps that offer both fun and adrenalin. You'll face vertiginous abseiling descents to heights of over 50 metres and descend the second-highest waterfall in France! What's more, you'll be faced with waterslides where you'll be swept along by the force of the currents and jump into deep, swirling water. You'll discover different canyons (les Ecouges, le Ruzand, le Moulin Marquis, les Etages and l'Infernet) with splendid rocks and vegetation, as well as superb lighting effects.

An intense canyoning course awaits you, with plenty of technical and educational learning. Despite the difficulties, your instructor will adapt to your level and your wishes to help you discover the canyons of the Alps.

So go ahead, book your canyoning course in Grenoble and discover the best canyons in the Alps with professionals for an adrenalin-fuelled week!

Course of events

Day 1: Canyon of the Ecouges (full)
It's a classic in Vercors! You will find everything that makes canyoning spectacular such as a 65-meter abseil where you'll have to test your courage and your technique. Afterwards, you'll experience a more entertaining game with equally impressive jumps and toboggans in a green gorge filled with waterfalls.

Approach: 5 mins
Descent: 8 hrs
Walk back: 25 mins

Day 2: Ruzand Canyon
Less known canyon but equally masterful with its impressive waterfall of 150 meters high which reveals rainbows. Another 75-meter waterfall will be abseiled down in a very narrow gorge. But there are also more playful jumps and toboggans in this very committed canyon.

Approach: 15 mins
Descent: 6 hrs
Walk back: 10 mins

Day 3: Moulin Marquis Canyon
The second highest waterfall in France at 380 meters high! The abseiling is done in several stages and does not lack verticality...

Approach: 15 min
Descent: 4 hrs
Walk back: 2 min

Day 4: Canyon of the Etages
This magnificent canyon dug in the white granite allows a fun but sporty canyoning trip with many jumps, slides, caves, pierced basins, and rock bridges. Beware the water is a little cold!

Approach: 40 mins
Descent: 5.5 hrs
Walk back: 5 mins

Day 5: Infernet Canyon
Beautiful canyon alternating between beautiful skylights and darker parts. The streams of water are alive and the basins swirling. You'll meet big jumps, fast slides and beautiful abseiling.

Approach: 20 mins
Descent: 4 hrs
Walk back: 30 mins
