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. 🧭 Trip Overview 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. ⭐ Why Choose Us 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. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Gîte accommodation for 2 or 3 nights Half-board meals Electric bike hire for one day Guided canyoning or aquatic hiking session Rafting session (4J/3N formula only) Technical equipment for supervised activities ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Personal insurance Drinks outside of included meals Additional optional activities ### Kit list Sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes Swimwear Towel Sports clothing suitable for water and cycling Small backpack Reusable water bottle Sun protection Personal medication ## FAQs ### Is this trip suitable for beginners? Yes, the programme is designed for active beginners with a reasonable level of fitness. The guided canyoning or water-based hiking sessions are adapted to the group, with routes chosen according to conditions and ability. Jumps are always optional, and your guide will explain techniques clearly before each section. The electric bike ride follows a panoramic route that is achievable for anyone comfortable riding a bike, as the motor assistance makes the climbs manageable. ### How challenging is the electric bike ride? The electric bikes provide pedal assistance, which makes the climbs along the Route des Crêtes much more accessible than on a standard bike. You should be comfortable riding on paved roads with some elevation changes. The route is self-guided, and you can progress at your own pace while stopping at viewpoints along the way. ### How physically demanding is the weekend? The programme is moderate overall. E-biking reduces strain on climbs, and water-based sessions are adapted to group ability. The 4-day version spreads effort more evenly. ### What should I bring for the activities? You will need swimwear, a towel, sturdy trainers suitable for getting wet, and comfortable clothing for biking and rafting. A small day pack, sun protection and a reusable water bottle are recommended. Technical equipment such as wetsuits, helmets, harnesses and paddles is provided for the guided sessions. ### Is this suitable for children and teenagers? The minimum age is 10 years old. Children should be comfortable in water and able to swim. The guides adjust the pace and difficulty where possible, but a basic level of confidence and fitness is important to ensure everyone enjoys the experience. ### How technical is the canyoning route? Routes are selected to suit mixed groups and changing conditions. Safety equipment and supervision are provided, and optional elements remain voluntary. ### Is there free time during the stay? Evenings are free, and depending on timing, there may be short windows between sessions to explore nearby viewpoints or rest. ### What is the accommodation like in the gîte? The gîte offers either shared dormitory-style rooms or private rooms, depending on availability and your preference. It is a simple, comfortable base set close to nature, providing half-board with breakfast and evening meals included. Facilities are shared, and the atmosphere is friendly and informal, ideal for groups, families and individuals looking for an active short break. ## 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-2026-03-03-123119.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## 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.
