Description
Once the group is complete, you will follow your guide by car for 15 minutes to reach the canyon parking lot, where specific equipment will be provided (neoprene wetsuit, harness, helmet, bag equipped with a waterproof barrel).
A 1h20 walk under the chestnut trees will lead you to the clear water pools at the start. The Vialais canyoning activity is rich in workshops: swimming in channels, rather technical water abseiling, as well as a few jumps. What makes this canyon so special is its wild and sporty character. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the Caroux, combining sporty walking and aquatic activities.
The return to the cars is via a hiking trail, an old route from yesteryear shaped by the local inhabitants who lived off chestnut harvests. The return walk will take 40 minutes, at a sustained sporty pace.
