Discovery & First Reminders
We have a meeting on Saturday morning at Grenoble train station at 10am or directly at the meeting point sent by Captain Jeremy.
We travel until the start of the first canyon of the stay: the Versoud.
After an introduction to the group members and the stay, we discover canyoning equipment: wetsuits, harnesses, helmets, descent devices, etc.
It will soon be time for a picnic by the water (not provided).
The afternoon will be devoted to descending our first canyon: abseils up to 15 m, water slides, optional jumps, swimming.
This will take us approximately 3 hours in a spectacular setting.
Late afternoon, once out of the water we will go and settle in a cabin in the middle of nature.
We will then regain some strength with a friendly mountain or seasonal dinner.
⚠️ In case of excessive water flow: the canyons may differ from the initial program
Canyon des Écouges (Lower Section)
Today we set off for one of the emblematic canyons of the Vercors: the Écouges.
No approach hike here! We enter the canyon directly.
The first vertical section and we will descend waterfalls up to 25 m high by rappelling.
We will take a picnic break immersed in nature (provided).
The afternoon will be marked by fun with a second section combining jumps, swimming and natural water slides.
The activity will take 3 to 4 hours depending on the group and we will be back in Grenoble around 5:30 PM.
