DESCRIPTIONS & INFORMATION

Discover canyoning with children!

Near Grenoble, and more specifically in the Vercors massif, there are 3 canyoning courses that can be adapted to children. From the age of 7 or 8, and depending on their size, we can take them on a tour of this wonderful activity. We'll use the same canyons as for the “big kids”, as these courses are easily adaptable to suit everyone. Family canyoning, an activity that's possible even with little ones!

The canyons are adapted to negotiate the obstacles differently. Jumps will never be compulsory, and heights will be adapted to children's needs, slides can be avoided or descended with a rope, and abseils will be managed by the instructor. And to make the canyons even more child-friendly, groups of children will be kept small. What about older children? They can enjoy canyoning in their own way: jumps (never compulsory either), slides, abseils, etc. Family canyoning is for everyone!

The canyons selected for children are canyon of Versoud, canyon of Furon UPPER part and Furon LOWER Part. Three canyoning routes around Grenoble, all three located in the Vercors massif.

So if your children love to play in the water, if you're near Grenoble or in the Vercors Massif and want to discover canyoning, come along as a family and we'll do everything we can to make it an unforgettable experience!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1Are the courses the same as for everyone else?
Yes, the canyons will be the same (Furon, Versoud, Terneze Boya) but depending on the audience we can also adapt and do different sections of the canyon.
2How can a canyon be "adaptable"?
All the obstacles can be passed in a different way. A jump can be transformed into a slide or abseil. In the canyons on offer, we can also avoid obstacles that may cause problems.
3Are the wetsuits designed for younger children?
Our wetsuits go up to size 6, which corresponds to a height of 1.20m for around 20/25kg, and we also have thick neoprene socks. Helmets and harnesses are also provided accordingly.
4Won't the little ones get cold?
If we stand too still in the canyon, the little ones are likely to get cold quicker than we do. So we'll keep the groups small so that we don't have to wait too long and stay on the move all the time.
5Is it possible to come if someone doesn't know how to swim well but is highly motivated?
Neoprene wetsuits make you float without making the slightest effort! All we ask is that you're not afraid of the water, as canyoning involves putting your head underwater.
FAQ CANYONING

A WORD FROM THE GUIDES

XAVIER
I've often had wonderful surprises with younger children, so if they're motivated and not afraid of the water, I'd be delighted if we could introduce them to canyoning too! And maybe there won't even be any need to adapt the obstacles!
CHARLIE
I love supervising a family outing, the atmosphere is always friendly: the children have a great time and are sometimes more daring than their parents! I'm happy to adjust the obstacles if necessary so that everyone can enjoy the outing to the full.
