About the Activity

What to Expect

Join our river trekking "Tusset" in the Verdon Gorge (from 7y.). Embrace a refreshing and fun activity perfect for families and kids aged 7 and up. Start your adventure with some gentle swimming in a calm section of the Verdon. As you float along with the current, soak in the beautiful scenery surrounding you. For those feeling adventurous, there are optional small jumps to add a splash of excitement to your experience. No technical skills are needed, just a willingness to enjoy the water and nature.

Next, you will continue with a playful outdoor experience in the heart of nature. The guide will lead you through the river's twists and turns, ensuring your safety and offering tips along the way. The activity is designed to be accessible for beginners, with alternatives available to avoid the high jumps if desired. You will have the chance to explore hidden spots and enjoy the tranquility of the natural surroundings, making it a memorable day out.

We meet at our base where you can enjoy our equipped facilities. Here, you will find changing rooms, lockers, and showers for your convenience. After gearing up, the guide will take you to the canyon, ensuring a smooth start to your adventure. At the end of the tour, you will have the opportunity to relax, share stories, and perhaps plan your next adventure.
