Marc Canyon

Highlights

  • The canyon of Marc is one of the fun of Ariège: fun and aquatic, it is also very cashed (that's why we only supervise small groups of 8 participants maximum). Located under a small EDF dam, we are guaranteed a moderate and stable flow :) I will welcome you at first to my canyon center. We will get to know each other over a coffee, which will give us the opportunity to present the program of the release. Then we prepare together your individual equipment. You will have your neoprene combi, slippers, shoes, helmet, helmet, harness, class! Departure on the site by car. The shaded approach walk only lasts about ten minutes (immediate return!). The session begins with a complete briefing (techniques of progression, jump, rappel and zip line ...). The adventure can finally start! The descent is gradual, it is punctuated by jumps (never mandatory), abseiling and a spectacular zip line, and other super fun slides. After all these sensations, we go down to the center to relax and de-cool around a refresh. Sharing a passion can not be improvised!

Why take this tour?

At my place, you will be welcomed as a "trainee" and not "clients". Your comfort and pleasure are at the center of my attention. You will receive a mini-training to learn on your own and live your own adventure. Of course I will accompany you, technically, but also psychologically ... and you will surpass yourself gently. This is why I have selected the best canyoning equipment for you and provided you with shoes specially adapted to the activity. It is also with this in mind that my groups never exceed more than 8 people and that I take the time to welcome you to my canyoning center and not quickly in a parking lot. Why me ? I have been a professional for 30 years (State graduate DEJEPS Canyon, Caving, Climbing), explorer of the largest Himalayan canyons and international trainer. Accompanied by our professional canyon photographer, YOU are therefore guaranteed to live a unique experience! Rod
