What to expect

The Furon torrent has dug the limestone of the Vercors, basins and waterfalls follow one after the other. The ferns and lush vegetation are a complete change of scenery. The Furon canyon has all the obstacles that can be encountered in canyoning. There are technical or easy jumps that can be repeated, as well as many slides and a zip line. No jump is mandatory, you can always abseil down the waterfalls with a rope. As this canyon is aquatic, it is essential to know how to swim and be in good physical condition. The descent lasts approximately 2.5 hours in the water. To get back to the car park, you will have to go up the bank of the canyon for 30 minutes. Depending on the season, the profile of the canyon can change, so one year you can jump a waterfall while the next year you will have to abseil down it, because a storm will have filled the basin with gravel.
