Suitable for beginners, the Ecot Canyon awaits you in Bonneval-sur-Arc, a 1-hour 45-minute drive from your meeting point in La Plagne-Tarentaise!

A magnificent natural site carved out of granite at an altitude of 2,000 metres in the Alps, the Ecot Canyon offers an exceptional setting for canyoning in Savoie. Its course, with a multitude of jumps of up to 10 metres and natural slides, is accessible even to canyoning beginners, as long as you are sporty! Even if the obstacles can all be avoided, this is a demanding canyon at altitude, in cold water that could discourage the most sensitive, despite the protection afforded by the neoprene wetsuits and socks provided for the activity.

You will reach the Ecot Canyon in Bonneval-sur-Arc from La Plagne-Tarentaise, with around 1 hour 45 minutes' drive ahead of you. Once you are there, there is no need to walk to get into the canyon: the canyoning adventure begins straight away! It will take you between 2h15 and 2h45 to reach the end of the course, after a good dose of thrills between the many jumps and natural slides to cross. Your instructor will be on hand to ensure your safety throughout the descent of the Ecot Canyon, providing you with almost personalised supervision thanks to the small group of no more than 8 participants. Finally, to round off the experience in good spirits before the return journey to La Plagne-Tarentaise, you will enjoy a well-deserved meal in a local restaurant (at your own expense) or a picnic you have brought along.

Open to young athletes from the age of 12, the Ecot Canyon is a real gem for discovering canyoning in Savoie. So if you are looking for a sensational introduction to this white-water sport in the Tarentaise Valley, don't miss this excursion to the Ecot Canyon from La Plagne-Tarentaise!
