Supervised canyoning trip with Samoëns Guides' Company

A hint of adventure, a good dose of madness and surpassing yourself, in wonderful surroundings - we bet the Haute Savoie canyons will be just right for you!

But what a kick! In short, it's within the reach of the first person who comes along, as long as he or she is well looked after. In these mineral sceneries, nature has alternated the softness of the chiselling of the waters with the devastating violence of the rocks carried by the floods, to obtain surprising shapes which arouse unceasing admiration. Depending on the objectives, the proposed canyons range from the aquatic walk to the most dazzling options where jumps, slides and abseils follow one another without interruption.

Generally speaking, we go to two sites:
BALME (Les Carroz) :
Duration of the descent: 2h30 / 3h.
Characteristics: fun, abseiling down waterfalls (25m max), jumps and natural slides

NYON (Morzine):

Le CLEVIEUX (Samoëns) :
Duration of the descent: 1h30 / 3h
Characteristics: descent of cascades by abseiling essentially (11m maxi). Committed canyon, no escape route

Le GIFFRE (Mieussy):
