The second part of the trip is full of thrills: still in the canyon, you'll face some magnificent abseils, the highest of which reaches 20 metres. Technical jumps, all optional, will delight the most daring. Finish on a high note with the biggest natural toboggan in the Grenoble region, a vertiginous 10-metre descent guaranteed to thrill!
