At Canyons du Verdon in La Palud-sur-Verdon, Mathieu Faneau guides canyoning, rock climbing and via cordata outings in the Gorges du Verdon. Visitors come for descents suited to all levels – from introductory routes to more challenging ones – and via cordata routes including zip lines and abseils; guidance by a state-qualified instructor accompanies outings at sites such as Mainmorte and Couloir Samson.
How does the experience work?
In practical terms, you choose between full-day or half-day descents in canyons such as Bandan Baou or Bas Jabron, sporting routes in more technical gorges, or via cordata combining easy climbing and zip lines up to 150 m high; activities suit beginners and those seeking to improve, families and participants looking for a challenge, with state-qualified instructors supervising progress.
