The French Mediterranean — the Riviera and Provence coast — is sun and sea. Powerboat and sail the coast, snorkel and dive, sea-kayak the calanques and canyon the hinterland, with a strong choice of courses.
Canyoning and ghyll scrambling offer a thrilling way to explore natural gorges, mountain streams, and cascading waterfalls. These activities involve navigating through rocky riverbeds, jumping into deep pools, sliding down natural rock chutes, and climbing waterfalls—all while surrounded by stunning landscapes.
Canyoning typically involves technical descents, using ropes and harnesses to abseil down waterfalls and navigate steep, rocky terrain. This high-adrenaline activity is perfect for those who love the challenge of technical movement combined with the excitement of deep water jumps and fast-flowing rapids.
Ghyll scrambling, often found in the UK’s Lake District and Scotland, is a slightly less technical but equally fun way to explore mountain streams and river gorges. Instead of abseiling, you’ll scramble up or down flowing rivers, clamber over boulders, and slide into natural plunge pools.
Both activities are suitable for a wide range of adventurers, with routes tailored for beginners and more extreme options for those looking for a challenge. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly adventure or a more intense canyoning experience, adventuro offers guided tours, lessons, and equipment rental to ensure you have the right gear and expert instruction.
From hidden waterfalls to narrow rock chutes, canyoning and ghyll scrambling provide an unforgettable way to connect with the natural world while testing your agility, confidence, and sense of adventure.
