Description
Already had a taste of canyoning and want to take things up a notch? Intermediate canyoning at Angon near Annecy is made for you. This more technical, more challenging route kicks off with an impressive 35 m abseil. It then moves on to descents down waterfalls, jumps and natural slides.
The canyon is located in Angon, above Lake Annecy, about 1 hour 30 minutes from Lyon. You make your own way to the meeting point, then a walk-in of about 35 minutes leads to the start of the route.
In total, six abseils punctuate the descent: 35, 25, 18, 12, 8 and 6 m. Between these dizzying sections, two jumps of 3 and 5 m (depending on conditions) and several slides add a more playful touch. The jumps remain optional.
The route is aimed at people aged 14 and over who can swim and are in good physical shape. Previous experience is recommended, but the qualified instructor adapts the descent to the group’s level. Harness, helmet and neoprene wetsuit are provided.
Available in summer, from €69, this canyon is an ideal outing for sporty friends, and a top gift idea for lovers of thrills and wide-open spaces.
- 2.5H
Good physical fitness is needed to make the most of this longer, more technical route. Bring a swimsuit, a towel and hiking boots, preferably high-top. Depending on availability, your outing may take place in another canyon.
