Description
Once you’re kitted out with wetsuits, helmets and harnesses, our Takamaka guides join you on the path down to the canyon — a shaded track with views over Lake Annecy. A briefing is delivered before the descent — and then it’s time for an initiation into abseiling through the waterfalls, between natural water slides and jumps, freshness and sensations guaranteed. With a bit of luck, you might even spot trout and salamanders in the riverbed! Our guides adapt to every group’s technical level to make this canyon an unforgettable experience. For those who prefer not to take part in the canyon itself, a walking hike can be organised alongside.
