Descent of the upper part of the Furon canyon, near Grenoble

Canyoning at Furon Haut in Engins is the perfect way to discover the hidden gems of the Vercors massif. Just a few minutes' drive from the centre of Grenoble, the refreshingly clear waters of the river have carved out spectacular limestone gorges over the millennia. As soon as you step into the torrent bed, the wild, unspoilt atmosphere of this Alpine gorge catches the adventurer's eye. The Furon reservoir, crossed on the way down, is a historic centre for caving and canyoning in Grenoble, recognised by all enthusiasts in the region as the perfect place to start and play.

This varied and dynamic excursion is built around a rhythmic sequence of fun and technical obstacles. The route opens onto a number of natural slides shaped by the current, perfect for sliding down in complete relaxation. The sensations intensify during the vertical abseiling descents, up to 15 metres high, where you can learn to control your footing on the rock using Petzl's premium technical equipment. The riverbed also offers some great swimming sections and overhanging rocky chaos. Depending on the water conditions at the time, a guided zip line can be set up by the professional instructor to fly over the deep pools, adding an exclusive aerial touch to this aquatic adventure in the heart of a splendid forest environment.

This trip is perfect for beginners, families and groups of friends who want to learn canyoning and have fun at the same time. The full equipment provided includes a thick neoprene wetsuit, protective neoprene socks, helmet and safety harness. The Pep'S nature team deliberately limits the size of the groups to ensure a friendly atmosphere, personalised supervision and optimum safety at every obstacle.

The course is open from May to September, when the river's flow and summer temperatures are ideal for canyoning. Book your canyoning trip to the Furon Haut in Engins now and get ready to enjoy the thrills and laughter of the Vercors from Grenoble!
