Maxi des Minis 12 km
The descent of 12 km is created in 2012 with the construction of canoe slides, quickly becoming a must during your stay in the Ardèche.
A little longer than the Mini Descent but just as easy, this trip of about 3 hours of paddling will take you to 3 canoe slides and the passage through the Pont d’Arc.
After a short briefing by one of our employees, you will start your adventure of 3 hours with fun and excitement in the canoe slides and some easy rapids, swimming, relaxing, pick nicking… This experience in the heart of the Gorges de l’Ardèche is unforgettable.
Once you’ve finished your descent, our team is waiting for you at the end to organise your return with the bus.
The Gorges de l’Ardèche 24 km
There you go, for 5 hours of paddling in one of the most beautiful canyons of Europe !
Surrounded by cliffs up to 250 meters high, you will discover the nature reserve of the Gorges de l’Ardèche and its fauna and flora.
This descent alternates quiet parts perfect for swimming with rapids, fun and exciting.
After a big pick nick break on the middle of the day, you continue your descent passing under the cathedral rock and the Cirque de Madeleine.
The course demands a good physical conditions, we advice you to start as early in the morning as you can.
After your descent, a shuttle bus will bring you back to the starting point (1 hour trip)
