Canyoning

Canyoning is rather like Coasteering, but in the mountains. It suits ages 12+ and requires no special level of fitness, just a penchant for fun and getting wet! We also offer an easier ‘Family Canyoning’ from ages 8+. Canyoning is a lot of fun and great to enjoy with other guests. It will have you grinning from ear to ear as you jump into natural pools, slide down natural chutes and swim around rock pools. Your instructor and guide will kit you out in wetsuits buoyancy aids and helmets.

How do I find the activity?

For Morzine
Activity location grid ref U9 (map in back of this guide) at the Nyon waterfalls. The meeting point is in the Nyon carpark 50 metres from the bus stop and our own chalet Nyon (so it’s very easy for Nyon guests!). If transport is required, your minibus will depart from (or very close to) your chalet or hotel. See the meeting points on the map (back of this guide).

Pick up/start times are detailed on your Activities Planner, or given to you at the Welcome meeting. The drive is 5-10 mins depending on where you are staying. Alternatively,you can cycle or walk there by following our ‘Nyon Waterfall’ Route Card. You will cycle/walk along a riverside track (valley floor trail) in about 15-20mins from the resort centre, (30-40min walking). It’s an easy route along a fairly flat riverside track.

For Tignes
The minibus will depart straight from your hotel at the time detailed on your Activities Planner; or given at the Welcome meeting.
