Discover the expert canyon of La Mine from the town of Lathuile between Annecy and Albertville!

Discover La Mine canyon from the town of Lathuile between Annecy and Albertville!

Follow your guide and explore the waterfalls and landscapes surrounding Lake Annecy for a fun and sporty day out with family or friends! Your guide will adapt the different passages (rappelling, jumps, slides...) according to the level of each participant.

The water is fresh as it descends from the alpine mountains. You will be equipped with a complete wetsuit, neoprene booties, a specific harness, and a helmet.

La Mine Canyon is a beautiful canyon carved out of limestone in the Bauges massif. It's made out of beautiful waterfalls, big rappelling and a jump of 11 meters.

Programme:
You meet an FBI Canyoning's instructor in Chaparon (Lathuile), where there's a storage place for the equipment and transfer vehicles. You choose the size of your neoprene suit and socks, take a harness and a helmet.

Then, your canyoning instructor briefs you on the activity with some pictures of the Mine Canyon and explanations of the descent. Then you head for the course with your personal vehicle and then hop on a minibus with the guide. You receive again a briefing on the gestures you'll have to use and how to control the harness and helmet attachment. A previous level in rappelling is necessary.

Then you start with an approach walk on a trail to the starting point of the canyon. After a 2:30hr canyoning trip, you remove your equipment and rinse your suit. You will then return to the car park.

Let yourself be tempted by this sporty and sensational experience!
