The ideal formula for beginner canyoners

Our Initiation formula is perfect for anyone who wants to try—or try again—canyoning. Suitable from 8 years old, it’s designed for beginners and those who aren’t the most athletic. No excuses!

Choosing Initiation also means getting a taste of rope techniques. You’ll learn to move safely from point A to point B on a handline and even try zip-lining. Spiderman, watch out!

Fun, yes, but in complete safety

Even if they don’t seem like it, our experienced and State-certified guides will be particularly attentive to the well-being of your little ones and their progress throughout the course. We ensure maximum fun and this in complete safety. Word from the Pyrenees!

Zoom on the canyon route, with our Spanish friends

We will meet you 40 minutes by car from Saint-Lary Soulan, near the Barrosa River, on the Spanish side. This is where you will put on your wetsuit. After about fifteen minutes of approach walking, one of our super guides will give you all the instructions, postures and gestures to adopt to overcome the obstacles. You will be reminded of these instructions throughout the route to ensure your safety. It’s now time to get in the water, let’s go for 1h30 to 2h of madness!
