Frequently Asked Questions

These routes are a bit longer and therefore require better endurance. They remain perfectly accessible to anyone energetic, comfortable in their movements, and who enjoys physical exertion outdoors.

Not necessarily!
For our day trips, a good level of fitness is sufficient. Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, the most important thing is to want to get moving and discover wild landscapes.

The intermediate routes offer a more immersive and complete experience: the descents are longer and the obstacles (jumps, abseils) are a bit higher. Rest assured, your guide knows every nook and cranny and will adapt the crossing of obstacles according to your comfort and your desires at the moment.

No need to load your bags!
We are passionate about our region and will share our best local recommendations with you after your visit, suitable for all budgets.
Special cases: For the Bollène and Riolan canyons (longer routes), simply bring a bottle of water and some energy snacks (cereal bars, dried fruit or peanuts) to stay energised during the activity.
