CANYONING
game area
PROGRAM
Canyoning is an outdoor adventure sport involved with the descent of steep and narrow canyons that have been carved by rivers and flash floods. Canyoning often includes working one's way down active waterfalls. It is a recent sport, the first canyons on the "Côte d'Azur" having been equipped with abseiling stations some 20 years ago. More than 170 canyons in the area have been descended, spanning a range from the easy, accessible for beginners, to the most difficult, reserved for those with much technical training and experience. the descents of these canyons often consist of a series of abseilings down the cascades, using rope techniques. There are also the thrills of natural toboggans (or water slides), jumps, and swims across small lakes.
There are many types of canyon on the French and Italian Riviera, and accordingly one can find many levels of participants in this sport. There are several easy canyons that suited for most people, even absolute beginners. It will be enough to be in good physical shape, not to be afraid of water or heights and to know swimming. Under the supervision of a guide, the necessary techniques can be learned on the spot. For more serious explorations which mean longer routes with more technical challenges, often in wild places far from civilization, can be made. Such expeditions can take several days.
