Canyoning and ruisseling

Canyoning and Ruisseling (ascending the river by scaling the rocks against the current) Francois Allemoz, high mountain and canyon guide, offers a canyoning and Ruisseling programme every week (from level 1: Introduction to level 3: Adventure).

Canyoning is an outdoor activity which includes elements of abseiling, hiking, climbing and mountaineering as well as white water sports.

You move downstream along the river bed where the flow of water can vary from low (sometimes zero for "dry canyons") to high. Certain routes pass through gorges or narrow ravines, with waterfalls of varying heights. Canyoning is mainly done on foot, but you will also swim in parts or use a rope with techniques commonly used in caving, such as abseiling.

You will go up and down our mountain streams (Montmin, Benettan, Angon and Pont du Diable), in the water for half a day or a fun full day with a mix of land and water.
