Canyoning in Ardèche
The rivers in and around the Ardèche, with their landscapes shaped by time, offer an ideal adventure playground for canyoning fans. This fun and sporty activity invites you to descend deep watercourses, overcoming waterfalls, natural slides and crystal-clear pools – all in the midst of unspoilt nature.
A natural environment that invites you to adventure
The rivers in and around the Ardèche are known for their unique geological formations and offer varied canyoning routes for all levels. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, you will find routes that combine jumps, slides and abseiling in a breathtaking setting. The Canyon du Haut-Roujanel is ideal for families and beginners and offers a playful adventure with calm water, small waterfalls and accessible rock passages. For the more adventurous, the Canyon du Haut-Chassezac offers lively water and unspoilt landscapes with waterfall descents, swimming in crystal-clear water and narrow passages. The white water and wild landscape guarantee thrills and unforgettable memories.
Good to know: Canyoning is not practised in the Gorges de l’Ardèche, or even in the Ardèche river, but in other rivers such as the Besorgues to the north of Aubenas, or the Chassezac in Lozère. When you book a canyoning trip, bear in mind that it will take a little while to get to the starting point.
