Canyoning in St-Auban

After getting kitted out, we enter the canyon via a first slide. Next, a first 5-metre jump awaits us between the steep canyon walls. A series of abseils and jumps then brings us to the top of a waterfall, which we will bypass using a 40m zip line, stretched from one bank to the other. Other jumps (6m and 7m for the highest) will take us from pool to pool to the last slide. At the exit of the canyon, a short walk back (10 mins) will return us to the vehicles left at the start. All jumps are optional and can be descended by abseil. According to current regulations, this canyon is accessible on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays Only.
