Good to know
Choosing your canyon
For a first time, with the family or young children, the Castellane at Molitg-les-Bains is the most accessible: from age 7, natural slides and jumps of 2 to 5 m, all optional. The Thuès hot-water canyon, a beginner route from age 10, offers six abseils in 35 °C water.
The Llech near Prades is the area's sporty canyon, with a dozen giant slides and jumps of up to 9 m, from age 14 and recommended for people who have done canyoning before.
Whatever the route, you need to be able to swim, without being a strong swimmer: basic comfort in the water is enough. No jump is compulsory: there's always a way around it or to be lowered on a rope.
Heatwave days
Underground, the Villefranche-de-Conflent caves stay around 14 °C. The En Gorner discovery trip, from age 7, is the coolest outing of the summer.
Via ferrata and climbing
Trips start early in the morning to avoid the heat on the rock. Bring at least 1.5 litres of water per person.
What to bring
For the canyon: swimwear, a towel and closed sports shoes that can go in the water. Wetsuit, helmet and harness are provided.
