Canyoning in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: jumps, slides and abseiling
Canyoning means descending natural gorges combining hiking, swimming, abseiling, jumping and natural slides. Each canyon is a unique landscape, sculpted over millions of years by water.
In the Ubaye, the canyons range from 1,200 m to 1,800 m altitude, in pristine high-mountain landscapes. Led by Christophe, a state-certified guide, you are in good hands.

We meet directly at the location of each canyon, except for Costeplane, which departs from our base in Méolans-Revel.
