Activity description

Take your first steps in canyoning in the Gorges du Verdon with the whole family and set off on an aquatic hike along the Tusset route, accessible from the age of 7, or along the Samson Corridor, accessible from the age of 10!

If you and your children can swim and put your head under water, don't miss the chance to cool off and have fun at the same time by discovering canyoning in the Gorges du Verdon: the Samson Corridor and the Tusset courses, starting at the foot of the Point Sublime in Rougon, will offer you an unforgettable adventure! For 1.5 hours, you will set off on an aquatic hike through the Gorges du Verdon with swimming sessions, floating (on your back), and a few jumps up to 6 metres high (all of which can be bypassed) for the more daring.

In small groups of no more than 9 participants per instructor, you will descend your chosen aquatic hiking course equipped with a neoprene wetsuit, helmet and life jacket for a completely safe experience. All you have to do is enjoy the magnificent setting of the Gorges du Verdon and let yourself be carried along by the river, alternating between calm and lively currents, ideal for discovering canyoning near Castellane.

Whether you have done canyoning before or it is your very first experience, aquatic hiking in the Gorges du Verdon will delight the whole family!
