Full of challenges, the canyon of the Gorges du Tapoul is accessible from the age of 12. This pearl of the Cevennes is a very varied and playful canyoning course which offers its share of sensations: kids and adults alike will love this canyon!

After a 5 minutes walk, the Tapoul canyon starts with an easy abseiling in blocks before arriving at a first jump. This is an opportunity to learn the basics of canyon jumping techniques: impulsion, precision and cushioning. The height of the jumps and abseils (from 2 m to 10 m) and their technical difficulty are progressive.

You will then swim for a short time until you reach a descending handrail, the start of a slide along the rock and ending in the water. A second jump of about 2 meters will allow you to reach a beautiful swimming area which ends on an aquatic handrail. The Tapoul canyon narrows as you go along, and after a short progression in the water comes the most technical part of the descent: two jumps of about three meters, then a sequence of rope techniques (ejectable abseiling, aerial handrail) and jumps of 7 and 10 meters in length (optional).

A 25 meters long zip line closes this technical passage of the canyon of the Tapoul Gorges with a very wet arrival! After a short abseiling and a slide on a small slide, you will arrive at the passage known as "la Serrure", a recess where you can choose between a technical jump or a slide along the rock, last obstacles before the final basin where you can enjoy a last swim after having removed your equipment.

Once the Tapoul canyon is finished, you will start a 10 minutes walk back, while still enjoying the nature of the Cevennes National Park which will have offered you a very refreshing canyoning experience!

Don't hesitate, book your canyoning activity in the Tapoul canyon for a sporting moment in the Cévennes National Park!

Après-midi canyoning au top ! Je l'avais fais y'a 10ans et toujours autant de sensations et d'adrénaline.

Tres ludique, obstacles concentré, pas de marche, franchissement d'obstacle varié. Ni trop difficile ni trop facile. Super pour se challenger y compris pour les débutants.
