Activity Snapshot
Activity description
This full day excursion will be full of extreme sensations!
You will enjoy a via ferrata excursion in the morning and go canyoning in the afternoon.
Your guide will take you to a splendid via ferrata site, situated at the entrance of the Gorges du Tapoul and in the afternoon you’ll explore the gorges and get up-close to the nature.
Via ferrata du Boffi
Situated only a few metres from the river, the via ferrata route starts with a short climb that will lead to 2 very different tracks, one that is beginner friendly and one that’s more adapted to intermediate level participants. Your guide will help you choose the one that’s well adapted to you and your level.
Then you’re off for a 2 hour adventure!
Canyon du Tapoul
This activity is reserved for people who like to see a different facet of nature and enjoy water sports.
Children as young as 9 are welcome, but summertime (between July – September) is encouraged as the water will be warmer and the water level will be lower.
This half day excursion really is exceptional, as you won’t be walking much however, you will be jumping as high as 10 metres (the jumps are not obligatory). If jumping is not your thing you can abseil or even slide down, there’s always a way of adapting the canyon to your level.
