Activity description
Enjoy a day of canyoning at Les Ecouges near Grenoble!
Put on a wetsuit and set off on an adventure in the most beautiful canyon in the Vercors... take on the jumps, abseils and descents in Isère!
When you arrive at the meeting point near Grenoble, you'll meet your expert canyoning instructor, who will accompany you and guide you through the Ecouges canyon. He'll provide you with the necessary equipment (wetsuit, harness and helmet) and give you a safety briefing. You'll then set off on your day's canyoning adventure, beginning with a short shuttle transfer to the starting point to begin your adventure in the Ecouges canyon.
The discovery and crossing of the canyon will take place in 2 stages. The descent of the upper part of the Ecouges canyon will take 3 to 4 hours. You will then enjoy a good picnic before beginning the descent of the lower part of the canyon for 2 to 3 hours. The first part of this canyoning trip in the Vercors will be more technical, while the second will be more fun!
Take to the watery paths and explore the Ecouges canyon with your experienced instructor and your small group. This canyoning trip is open to sports enthusiasts aged 14 and over who are comfortable with abseiling and have preferably already done some canyoning or climbing.
Ecouges 1, the most technical and demanding part of the canyon, is made up of 13 abseiling descents, and finishes with a 60m-high vertical drop! You'll admire the limestone rock and its aesthetic shapes, but above all the breathtaking view over the valley!
You'll continue the canyoning activity at Ecouges 2, a more fun descent featuring numerous slides, jumps, abseils and a 25m vertical drop.
In an idyllic setting, you'll discover one of the treasures of the Vercors, the magnificent Ecouges canyon, a fairly physical but above all impressive and unforgettable trip.
Book your canyoning day at Les Ecouges in the Vercors, just 30 minutes from Grenoble, and let yourself be charmed by the canyon's aquatic and vertical aspects!
