In Castellane, Action Aventure provides guided canyoning, rafting and other outdoor sports in the Gorges du Verdon and neighbouring areas. Depending on the level, canyoning routes combine swimming, jumps, natural slides, abseiling and sometimes zip lines.
What ability is required?
Some outings are suitable from age 6, while more technical canyons require participants to be 12, 14 or 16 depending on the route. Participants must be able to swim 50 m, be comfortable putting their head underwater and have no medical contraindications.
Activities are supervised by a sports instructor holding a professional registration card, with professional public liability insurance.
More than canyoning
Action Aventure also offers rafting, white-water canoeing and kayaking, river walking, caving, climbing and abseiling. Multi-activity packages can be arranged for groups, families or businesses.
The season generally runs from 1 April to 30 September. Canyon selection depends on ability, water flow and current conditions: it is best to choose the difficulty level before selecting the date.
