If all the answers are yes, then join us in the descent of one of the most famous canyons in France. Not only is it a demanding course but it takes you through an absolutely gorgeous setting. Tour programme Preparation Let’s meet at the “Rivières Evasion” chalet in Serre-Chevalier-Chantemerle. We will provide you with the appropriate equipment for the excursion and introduce you to your guides. Please, don’t forget to bring your canyoning shoes along! We will drive together to the canyon aboard our transfer shuttle. Tour The trip ahead will last an entire day or just the afternoon, depending on what you are up for. If your goal is to descend the river at a rather speedy pace, choose the “Full Descent” option which will bring you down the canyon in a 5.5h course. If you rather fancy a calmer and shorter course during which you’ll have time to repeat some parts (jumping, abseiling, etc.) then choose the “Upper Part” option (since we’ll stay in the upper part of the river). In any way, the course is definitely one you won’t forget. We can’t stress enough how the Chichin is an extraordinary canyoning course, reserved to the lucky few! The setting is splendid and the course itself is one of the most famous in France. By now, who hasn’t heard of the Chichin as one-of-a-kind canyoning descend? Knowing the techniques for abseiling is necessary. Other challenges during the trip will include jumping, swimming, sliding and many more. Don’t forget to bring your picnic for the lunch break. Tour facts - Canyon: Le Chichin - Description: A difficult course definitely for experienced canyon lovers only and set in an outstanding alpine valley. - Total duration: 9.5 hrs (full descent) / 5 hrs (upper part) - Time in the canyon: 5.5 hrs / 3.5 hrs Included services - Complete high-quality canyoning equipment (incl. helmet, wetsuit, neoprene socks) - High-class harness and rope material - Certified canyoning guide - Transfer to starting point / back to the base Bring along - Swimwear - Sport shoes - Picnic Requirements - Minimum age: 18 years - Swimming ability - Canyoning experience required - Perfect knowledge of abseiling requiredFrom 120€

Well done to the instructors! We were left wanting more, which will definitely bring us back. A must-do! A big thumbs up to our bus driver with nerves of steel."Quentin · August 2026From 55€Rafting Verdon - 2h30"Swimming down the Verdon River without a boat, just wearing thermal gear, was an unforgettable adventure. It was a true immersion into nature – every step through the crystal-clear water, every jump from the rocks, and every float down the current made me feel incredibly alive. The water was fresh and invigorating, and thanks to the thermal suit, it felt just right. Towering canyon walls surrounded us, creating a breathtaking backdrop and a deep sense of awe. It was more than just a physical activity – it was an emotional experience, full of adrenaline, freedom, and a rare connection with the natural world. I highly recommend this kind of adventure to anyone seeking something raw, real, and unforgettable. It’s not just a swim – it’s a journey through one of the most beautiful places in Europe."Gražina · July 2025From 70€Classic Rafting on the Verdon River"Very friendly.

Sophie
"I'd wanted to go canyoning for years, I finally took the plunge and I absolutely didn't regret it.
I had a fabulous time, I felt completely safe and very well supervised. Letting yourself be carried by the river, in the magnificent setting of the Verdon, is an excellent way to let go, a sport, and pure relaxation. There's a little adrenaline rush during the jumps, which aren't mandatory; everyone goes at their own level, no pressure.
I recommend it 200% and I'll definitely be back for a kayak or rafting trip! 👍🏼"

"Booked classic rafting Tour. Perfect for discovering the river and the landscape. Tour does run for about 14 km, so it ends before the end of the Canyon.
Fun with many rapids, jumping and swimming in the river. It was perfectly safe for all of us and our Guide Thomas did a great job.
We all had a great fun day with that tour. "
