Details
Get to know more of the Vallée d'Ossau by canyoning in it for a full day! This offer is open to anybody from 10 years old. You get to choose between four wonderful canyons, with granite or limestone environment, easy-going but still including physical exercise. You get to make the canyon easier or harder by taking or avoiding jumps in the water, or abseiling along waterfalls, then sliding down natural slides, all this under the watchful eye of your state-certified guide!
Tour programme
- Preparation:
We meet in Laruns at the booked time to get to know each other and show you the equipment. We will then follow each other by car to the chosen canyon, which will be distant from 10 to 30 minutes according to the canyon.
- Tour:
After being equipped, the state-certified guide will train you on the right moves to have in a canyon and we will begin the walk of approach towards our first pièce de résistance. Once in, you will spend 2.5hrs in the first canyon, then we will have a well-deserved picnic before driving to the second canyon for an equally interesting afternoon during 2.5hrs.
- Return:
At the end of our adventure, you can drive back by car with your senses sharpened and your mind full of memories.
