We first enter the Jabron canyon on foot, walking along its riverbed. To descend into the canyon itself, we'll do a short, easy 5m abseil. Afterwards, we'll encounter a narrow gorge, a slide down a toboggan (the «Canonnière»), a passage through a squeeze (the »chattière»), more toboggans, and various jumps into pools (of varying heights for the more or less brave)... If you fancy it, you can repeat certain activities (abseils, jumps, etc.), or test your new skills on a 15m abseil ending in a "spider's web" (suspended in mid-air), or even sample some of the guide's surprises! The less adventurous can stick to the classic route, but it's highly probable they too will enjoy the many possibilities this canyon offers.
