Across three or four days, this short stay focuses on the most dramatic section of the Verdon Grand Canyon through a combination of electric mountain biking, canyon exploration, and river descent. You ride independently along the famous ridge road, take on a guided canyoning or aquatic hiking experience with swimming and optional jumps, and, on the longer formula, add a rafting descent on the Verdon River. The programme keeps sport at the centre while allowing you to experience the scale and variety of the canyon from above, within, and on the water.
Designed as a concentrated adventure break, this stay combines half-board gîte accommodation with two or three structured activities depending on the formula selected. The 3J/2N option includes e-biking plus one water-based canyon experience. The 4J/3N formula adds a third activity, either rafting or a second canyon-style descent. All technical sessions are supervised where required, while the e-bike ride is carried out independently after a full briefing.
Careful planning ensures that even in a short time, you experience contrasting perspectives of the Verdon. The activity order is chosen to balance physical effort across the days, and local teams adapt water-based sessions according to river conditions. The aim is to give you genuine outdoor immersion rather than a rushed schedule, while keeping logistics simple from a single accommodation base.
For the extended stay, the final activity is a rafting descent on the Verdon River. Working as a team in an inflatable raft, you navigate flowing sections under professional supervision. The session adds a different rhythm compared to canyoning, focusing more on coordinated paddling and reading the river.
Departure takes place after the final overnight stay.
You stay in a gîte offering either private bedrooms or shared dormitories. The atmosphere is informal and suited to active travellers, with communal areas used for meals and evening relaxation.
Half-board is included, covering breakfasts and evening meals. This arrangement keeps organisation straightforward, especially after physically active days.
