The terrain.

The Llech emerges from rock at 1,240 m, below the scree of Canigó, and flows into the Têt at Prades. Between the two, it has carved narrow gorges into the massif's gneiss. The section we descend covers 650 m with 160 m of elevation drop — dense and relentless.

You chain 4 rappels (max 15 m), a dozen giant slides of 3 to 10 m, and jumps up to 9 m. An aquatic, playful canyon considered one of the most beautiful in the Pyrénées-Orientales. A sporty canyon, recommended for people who have done canyoning before.
