Each discipline offers a different pace and skill set, from paddling calm lake sections to navigating narrow canyon passages on foot and by rope. Guided days focus on technique, safety and confidence in the environment, while self-led canoeing allows freedom to explore at your own rhythm. Together, the mix of sports keeps the week active without repeating the same format day after day. 🧭 Trip Overview This six-day itinerary is centred on travelling through the Gorges du Verdon using a range of outdoor sports rather than sticking to a single activity. By alternating between paddling, walking and technical canyon sections, the programme avoids overload while still delivering a full and rewarding week. A balance is kept between guided instruction and independent sessions. Technical sports such as canyoning and packrafting are led by qualified guides, while calmer canoeing days give space to practise skills and enjoy time on the water without pressure. 🤝 Why Choose This Experience Rather than rushing between headline locations, this trip has been designed to show how the Verdon works as a complete environment, linking rivers, gorges and lakes through sport. Activities are selected to be accessible while still feeling purposeful, making it suitable for active families and mixed-ability groups. Strong links with local guides and accommodation providers mean the programme supports the surrounding area while keeping group sizes manageable. A clear focus on safety, local knowledge and responsible use of the environment runs through every day of the stay. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 6 days / 5 nights accommodation in gîte Half-board meals Guided packrafting sessions Guided canyoning sessions Water hiking with guide Autonomous canoeing on lakes All safety equipment for activities Briefings and instructions for each activity ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Personal insurance Optional extras such as snacks or souvenirs Travel to and from Verdon Gorges Any additional activities outside the programme ### Kit list Comfortable walking shoes that can get wet Light clothing suitable for water and warm weather Swimwear and towel Sun protection including hat and sunscreen Reusable water bottle Small daypack Dry bag for personal items Basic toiletries and personal medication ## FAQs ### What is the minimum age for participation? The programme is open to participants aged 10 and above. Younger children are not allowed because the activities involve water, hiking, and occasional rappelling, which require a basic level of strength, coordination, and swimming ability. Children under 18 must be accompanied during autonomous activities, such as canoeing. Guides adapt sessions to ensure younger participants can safely take part while still enjoying the full programme. ### What level of fitness is required? Moderate fitness is recommended. Participants should be able to swim confidently, hike over uneven terrain, and manage wet or slippery surfaces. The activities are designed to be challenging but achievable with average fitness. Daily sessions combine periods of exertion with time to rest, and guides can adjust the pace for those who need it. Stamina, balance, and mobility all contribute to a safe and enjoyable experience. ### What equipment is provided? All safety gear is provided, including wetsuits, helmets, life jackets, and paddles for water activities. Participants do not need to bring specialised equipment for the main activities. However, personal items such as swimming shoes, gloves, a water bottle, and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. This ensures comfort and safety during hikes, water sessions, and outdoor breaks. ### How are the activities structured? Each day focuses on a single main activity, with a combination of guided and independent segments. Morning briefings cover safety and technique, while afternoons allow hands-on participation in the activity. Guides are present throughout to monitor participants, provide instruction, and adapt challenges according to experience and comfort. Autonomous canoeing and packrafting are supported with safety guidance and optional supervision. ### Are canyoning jumps mandatory? No, jumps during canyoning are optional. Participants can choose to slide, rappel, or swim depending on comfort and confidence. Alternative routes exist for all canyoning sections, ensuring everyone can fully participate without pressure. Guides provide clear instructions to keep each choice safe. ### What is the gîte like? The gîte offers a mix of individual rooms and shared dormitories, all designed to provide a comfortable and practical stay. Common areas are available for relaxing, socialising, and group debriefs after activities. Meals are included, with local ingredients and recipes used for breakfast and dinner. Evenings allow time to reflect on the day, connect with other participants, and prepare for the next day’s adventures. Its location provides direct access to rivers, lakes, and trails, minimising travel time. ### What meals are included? Half-board includes breakfast and dinner daily, prepared with local ingredients and traditional regional recipes. Lunches are typically picnic-style during activity days, with guidance on what to bring. Participants may also purchase snacks locally or bring personal provisions if preferred. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot-2026-03-02-124603.png - **Gallery image count**: 9 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
