"Great experience, lot of adrenalin. Professional and experienced guides. For kids and adults. The only canyon in Ecrins with lots of slides, jumps. "Alexander, August 6, 2025
"Very well supervised by Paul, in complete safety, we are beginners.
A first abseil of 35 m impressive, then other shorter ones where we ended up being more comfortable.
Slides, jumps (if desired) very exotic."Pierre, August 27, 2024
"Fantastic trip and actually very very enjoyable. The guide was FANTASTIC, and actually to be honest I was very far from expert (or even intermediate or beginner) at it all. I was rescued a few times from my own lack of ability.
Extremely beautiful experience and truly unique. I WOULD do it again absolutely and I recommend it wholeheartedly!"Steven, August 26, 2025
