aqua trekking-verdon (the styx)

Sport day in verdon canyon

Starting from 14 years old 

 

If there is a place to discover in « Gorges du Verdon » it certainly are the passages of Styx and Imbut.

  It is in the heart of this 27 km long of canyon that the Verdon has dug in a limestone rock leaving vertical walls of more than a hundred meters.  

To explore the canyon you will start by a descent of 30 minutes by the path of the Cavaliers and 2 hours in the Verdon will give you a taste of what awaits you.

 The surprise will come after lunch, the Styx as a dessert and the Imbut as a cherry on the cake.

The aqua trekking in this canyon shows you the best place of the Verdon Valley and it is very good first canyon experience...
