The Bollène canyon is one of the most famous canyons in the French department Alpes-Maritimes! You will be charmed by its wild landscapes, wooded and steep-sided, which you will enjoy for a whole day, including the scenic picnic break in the middle of rocks. On the activity side, many jumps and slides are waiting for you, and in particular two big slides which will leave you a memorable souvenir!
Tour programme- Preparation:For this activity, we do not meet at our base, in order to minimize the journey to the tour's starting point. The meeting point is at
the exit of the village Plan-du-Var, 15 minutes before the start of the tour. To find us, just pass the Durandy bridge and park to the right of the roundabout, just next to the bus stop. From there, you will go to the tour's starting point with your own car, or simply carpool with your fellow adventurers - you'll only have to follow your guide's car! When you arrive in La Bollène-Vésubie, all you have to do is get on our shuttle. We'll arrive at the starting point of the tour in 15 minutes. There, your guide will give you your equipment and a briefing on what awaits you in this beautiful canyon.
- Tour:Once you know everything about the theoretical part, you'll be ready to go for 4 hours of adventure! Jumps, superb abseiling descents and spectacular natural slides await you on this tour. La Bollène is known for its two giant slides that guarantee fun & adrenaline rushes! Since this is a whole day activity, we will take a lunch break mid-way.
- Arrival:Once we get to the end of the tour, we'll go back to the cars where you can look back on this unique adventure and get changed.
