But what a kick! In short, it's within the reach of the first person who comes along, as long as he or she is well looked after. In these mineral sceneries, nature has alternated the softness of the chiselling of the waters with the devastating violence of the rocks carried by the floods, to obtain surprising shapes which arouse unceasing admiration. Depending on the objectives, the proposed canyons range from the aquatic walk to the most dazzling options where jumps, slides and abseils follow one another without interruption.

Le CLEVIEUX (Samoëns) :
Duration of the descent: 1h30 / 3h
