Aquatic adventure in the heart of the French Alps

Since 1994, we have been sharing the most beautiful canyons of Lake Annecy with families, athletes and groups looking for thrills. Our playground: five exceptional sites in Haute-Savoie, from the family-friendly Angon Canyon to the technical Pont du Diable.

Canyoning in Annecy is the art of descending an alpine river on foot, wearing a neoprene wetsuit, alternating between hiking, whitewater swimming, jumps into natural pools, slides down rock chutes and abseils alongside waterfalls. A complete experience combining adrenaline, immersion and stunning alpine landscapes.

Our guides — Céline, Étienne and Vincent — are all state-certified in canyoning. They tailor every trip to your level, weather conditions and water flow to guarantee a safe and unforgettable experience.
