Activity description
Set off to discover the must-see canyon in the Ariège Pyrénées, the Marc canyon and its 2 hours course near Val-de-Sos!
The Marc canyon is one of the best canyoning descents in Ariège, near Val-de-Sos, with a series of key canyoning obstacles in an exceptional natural setting. With natural slides in crystal-clear water, jumps of up to 7 meters in pools (all of which can be bypassed), abseils (the highest of which is 19 meters) and even a 10 meters long zip line above the river torrent, you won't have time to get bored in the Marc canyon!
Supervised by a qualified canyoning instructor with a passion for the sport, you will learn the basic abseiling techniques and progress through the canyon in complete safety. You will be equipped with all the gear you need to descend the Marc canyon (helmet, harness, neoprene suit, etc.) and be ready to tackle any obstacle!
