Canyoning in Drome

The Drôme has several rivers and valleys that have been famed among canyoning enthusiasts for many years for their beauty and the technical challenge of their routes. A canyoning descent requires accompaniment by a supervisor to avoid risk of accidents, and to allow an introduction to safe canyoning. From the Léoncel valley to the Les Écouges falls in Saint Gervais, or to the meanders of the gorges of Les Gets in the Diois on the river Drôme, a host of canyoning descents for all levels is offered by our team of guides and instructors with a state diploma in canyoning.

Our canyoning descents

Drôme Aventure offers you several canyoning itineraries suited to your level of ability. The youngest can practise on an introduction to canyoning with our water hikes, ideal for families and young children. The sportier canyoning enthusiasts will be able to experience a more challenging canyoning descent where excitement is guaranteed. Our 9 canyoning descents are systematically supervised by a state-qualified guide who ensures that conditions necessary for your safety are met. Canyoning in the Vercors or the Drôme is there for you!


 

The canyoning routes in the Vercors

Do you want to go canyoning in the Vercors? We offer 2 full-day canyoning descents in the Vercors: the Canyon des Écouges and the Canyon du Léoncel. These canyons are famed for their level of challenge but are still "intermediate" level canyons. A little canyoning experience is desirable (but not compulsory) and a minimum age of 12 is required.

Many jumps and abseiling descents make these canyons very popular with mountain and river lovers.
