Options range from introductory trips to more demanding routes. Tourist information for 2026 lists outings lasting 3 to 7 hours, for groups of 3 to 10 people. The stated minimum age is 10; participants must be able to swim and have a level of fitness suited to their chosen route.
How much does canyoning cost in 2026?
The advertised canyoning price ranges from €45 to €85 per person, depending on the outing. Technical equipment is provided for guided routes: a wetsuit, helmet and canyon-specific progression equipment.
When can you take part?
Water-based canyoning is offered mainly from April to September. The team also runs other rope-based activities all year, including climbing, via cordata and dry canyons.
