For an original family outing, go canyoning in the Bas Chassezac canyon! Offer your family a unique adventure in a wild setting and discover the typical landscapes of the gorges. Accessible to all, this canyon will allow adults, as well as children, to have fun together with its optional jumps and slides. Make the most of your day and repeat the obstacles at will!
Tour programme- Preparation:
Meet at our base in Les Assions, 15 minutes before the booked time, where you can get to know the whole team. You will then drive 45 minutes to the activity site in your own vehicle.

Yesterday we had a canyoning day with the relaxed guide Marc, who guided us well. Our daughter (8) found it quite overwhelming and too scary at first, but thanks to the relaxed atmosphere she eventually found the courage to enjoy it.
Beautiful canyon, nice cliff jump spots... highly recommended.
