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!

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.
