Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear alpine waters of Mont Avic Natural Park while experiencing canyoning in the Aosta Valley along the vibrant upper Chalamy Torrent. Located within Champdepraz in northern Italy, the upper Chalamy Torrent is widely recognized in the Graian Alps for its pristine water clarity, polished granite gorges, and continuous series of natural pools. This canyoning excursion in the Aosta Valley provides an authentic wilderness adventure where participants take active control of their technical progression.
Your journey through the canyon combines adrenaline-pumping obstacles with technical skill-building under the direct supervision of certified canyoning guides. Equipped with double-piece 5mm neoprene wetsuits, specialized neoprene boots, helmets with GoPro sled attachments, and technical harnesses with carabiners and descenders, you will navigate a dynamic river course. The route features exhilarating natural water slides as well as pool jumps ranging from 1 to 10 meters high, all of which remain entirely optional and avoidable. The key feature of this section is the series of mandatory abseils where you will manage your own rope descent down steep rock walls while your guide maintains safety oversight.
Designed for active beginners and thrill-seekers from 12 years of age, this intermediate route requires good physical fitness and comfort in moving water. Unlike basic passive tours, every participant learns to operate their own descender device under expert guide monitoring, offering a rewarding feeling of achievement. All technical equipment and thermal footwear are provided at the Champdepraz base, ensuring optimal warmth and grip. Shuttle transfers to the canyon start point and return changing facilities at the base guarantee a smooth, hassle-free outdoor experience.
Operating daily from June to September, this intermediate route is the ultimate step up for fit participants eager to master rope techniques. Book your canyoning session in the Chalamy Torrent and tackle the waters of Aosta Valley!
