Canyonhiking Sentier l'Imbut Sunday
We discover the middle part of the Canyon of Verdon on foot.
Some glorious and adventurous footpathes wind through the gigantic
gorge, for example the Sentier l´Imbut. After a short transfer
by car along the left riverside, which offers great views,
we descend a marked hiking stretch to the bottom of the canyon of verdon.
We pass wild forrests and some gnarly steep walls.
We reach the wildest part of the river and start walking downstream.
Enormous rocks try to block our way, floated wood show the maximum
water level, destroyed bridges demonstrate the power of the current
and we watch the wild water close to us. We visit the narrow pass Styx
the Imbut, where the river disappears for about 100 meters under rocks
as big as houses and have a bathe at a calm place in the green water.
At the end there is a daring exit along natural stairs and a long ladder.
Back on the street, our minibus is waiting to bring us back home.

Night Canyoning Tuesday
Today we go through a little easy canyon in the moonlight.
After a 30 minutes drive inbetween a very nice landscape, we approach
a little car park in the woods. Here we put on our equipment:
helmet, neopren suite, canyoning harness and a frontal lamp.
After a few minutes of walking, we reach a little river, leading into
a narrow canyon after 100 meters.
In the light of our lamps we manage small abseilings, swimm through
small water bassins and climb down some easy steps.
All that sorrounded by the shining moon and the steep walls of the canyon,
coming closer than one meter several times. The lamps of our friends
cut through the darkness of the night, some insects follow our way
and the witching hour approaches.
After two exciting hours we are at the end of the canyon, to leave
the river right handed. In the bushes some wild boars might rustle
and if we are lucky we might catch sight on a fox.
Back in our action centre we enjoy a warm tea an talk about the
experiences.

Canyon Discover Trip Wednesday
Since 2007, we made our most wanted tour even more
exciting !
We go deep into the gorge by canoe, until the current forces us
to land. Along an old fishers path, we explore walking,
climbing and partly through the water
the real secrets of the great canyon of Verdon.
Huge rocks line
our way, we pass extremly narrow zones of the river and jump
natural diving boards.
Our way home will we in the river, we will put on warming
neopren suites, wear a helmet and store our stuff in waterproof
cases. The slow current leads us between long narrow zones,
along rocky benches and to non countable fscinating secrets,
which the water has worked out of the mountain.
We discover the canyon from downwards and attack the diving boards
that we found during the first part of the trip.
It is called "aquatic hiking".

Canyoning Friday
Our most exciting adventure with the danger of getting abused!!
Depending on weather and water level in the canyons,
we offer different trips. We explore narrow canyons which were formed
inbetween millions of years by the erosion of water, streaming through them.
We walk, climb, jump, swim and rapell all the obstacles and difficulties.
We conquer natural slides, water falls up to 50 meters height, narrow passages
and crystal clear pools. Our maximum is seven guests per guide.
We are well equipped with neoprensuite, canyoning harness, helmet, rapelling
device, special ropes and safety equipment.
Our guides are educated and checked by the European
Canyoning Commission, to guarantee the highest safety level.
Of course there is a special briefing before each tour,
so you do not need any experience in canyoning.

the verdon per second, the raft moves over turbiles, shoots down the steps
and turn at rocks in the river.
The crewmembers - of course you are one of them - shout and yell on
every move and get totally wet.
Of course you will be equiped with all the nescessary materials like
helmet, paddel, neoprensuite ans swimming west, you only have to bring
a bathing suite, a towel and a pair of baskets.

Bungeejump Bridge of Artuby your choice
Feel the ultimate kick! Risk the 180 meters high - or better said
deeeeep Bungeejump from the Bridge over the Artuby Canyon. The rest
of the group will watch you with photo- and videocamera!
You will drive with all the others to the Canyonhiking, but than you
are prepared to the most hazardous excitment, meanwhile the rest of us
will go down to the bottom of the gorge by foot.
When you look over the bridge railing, the canyon ground seems to be
too narrow, nevertheless you will dive head forward into the depth
in a few moments, only heald from a thick latex rope:
You speed toward the ground, the head wind rushes in your ears and the seconds
till the rope takes tension seem to be endless -
your adrenalin explodes from there to onehundredfifty percent!
Shortly before reaching the bottom, the resilience will slow you down
gently, a few times you swing up and down, than the Bungee team will
leave you down back to earth with shaking knees.
While all the other jumpers take the normal way back to the street,
you will coplete your day by hiking through the Canyon of Artuby.
The Bungeejump ist the most elegant way to avoid the descent!
