Practical information

The Fournel canyon at l'Argentière la Bessée is ideal to learn about the joys of canyoning thanks to this superb playful setting just a stone's throw from the Silver Mines.

It is one of the canyoning courses which cannot be ignored in the Hautes Alpes because it is accessible to all from 8 years old but it is also a real marvel to explore.
Ideally situated, only 20 min from Briançon, this half-day canyoning outing will allow you to discover the different facets of the canyoning activity: walking, swimming, jumps (up to 5-6m high if you wish), slides, and 1-2 short abseiling descents not exceeding 10m.

You will discover a magnificent limestone gorge, otherwise inaccessible! You will be equipped with top-of-the-range canyoning neoprene wetsuits so that you can fully enjoy the pleasures of this sport despite the coolness of the water in the High Alps.

Throughout the activity, a specialist guide of Canyon River Trip will teach you how to take advantage of this environment by teaching you the basics of this activity but also by introducing you a little more to the preserved nature of these places.
Sensations and fun are there for this canyoning descent that you will not soon forget!
