Details
Located in the French Bauges mountain range, the Pont du Diable canyon promises its share of adrenaline! In the middle of wild nature, this aquatic canyon awaits the most adventurous of you for a fun and sporting descent. Both the great variety of obstacles encountered and the unique setting, narrow gorge and vigorous water, will make you even more excited. And if you still have some energy at the end of the descent, our certified instructor will offer you a second descent in a row with new options to overcome different obstacles.
Tour programme- Preparation:
You meet your guides on the D912 car park towards the Col de Leschaux. Please be here 15 minutes before. You will receive your canyoning equipment and can change into the neoprene suit. It is easiest to already wear your swimwear under your clothes when you arrive at the meeting point. In a group of 10 people maximum, our tour starts from the car park and we'll walk to the entry point at the canyon. After a detailed safety introduction by your certified guides, who will tell you everything you need to know about canyoning, the fun can begin.
- Tour:
The Pont du Diable is a very complete canyon with a wide variety of obstacles: a few abseils, several jumps, a long slide and a rather narrow pass that will take you as close as possible to the very special natural setting of this canyon. A swim through a stream will conclude this first 1h15min descent, most of which is done with ropes. Because yes, if you're not too exhausted, your guide will offer you to do a second descent, faster and much more aquatic, in only 45 min. Throughout the tour, your guide will take pictures that you can download later.
- Return:
At the end of an exciting tour, you arrive back at the meeting point, where your cars are parked.

A beautiful deep and narrow canyon that you can only truly experience from inside. The leader was excellent, in our sixties the canyoning was quite challenging but a couple of younger boys did fine! Several jumps of a few metres required, a couple of abseiling drops and a slide.
