In the north of the coast, Canet benefits from the Perpignan road: the Tautavel and Vingrau cliffs are 40 minutes away, the Llech 45. Canyon, cliff or cave: your choice.
Times are from central Canet. Via Perpignan and the N116, the Llech and the Villefranche-de-Conflent caves are 10 to 20 minutes closer here than from Argelès or Collioure.
Approximate driving times from the centre of Canet-en-Roussillon, without traffic.
From Canet, two destinations fit into a morning. The Tautavel and Vingrau cliffs, 40 minutes away. And, via Perpignan and the N116, the Llech and the Castellane around Prades, 45 and 55 minutes away.
Canet is where climbing is closest to the coast. The Tautavel cliffs are for climbers who can already lead, from age 12; the Vingrau multi-pitch route, facing the Mediterranean, is for independent climbers, from age 16.
For a first time with the family, the Castellane, from age 7, remains the gentlest canyon. The Llech, closer, is a sporty canyon from age 14, recommended for people who have done canyoning before.
In Tautavel, the cliffs are a stone's throw from the prehistory museum, known for Tautavel Man: plenty to fill an afternoon after a morning of climbing.
Trips start in the morning, between 8.30 and 10 am depending on the route. Allow for your drive from Canet to arrive on time.
The Tautavel and Vingrau cliffs can be climbed from March to November, via ferrata and caving all year round: Canet remains a good base when the canyons are closed.
On site, most trips fit into half a day. Allow the whole day for Exploration Canalettes, Aquatique En Gorner, Merveilles En Gorner and Grande Voie de Vingrau.
