Safety briefing and entry into the canyon
A comprehensive technical briefing before tackling the Angon Intégral. The guide explains the nine rappels, belaying techniques, and the specific features of the route. On this canyon, being well-briefed makes all the difference.
04
Upper Section: The Major Highlights
We start at the top with the canyon’s most challenging rappels. The 65-meter waterfall is the highlight of this first section: an extreme rappel into the void, with a view of Lake Annecy that’s as breathtaking as the height itself. The guide supervises each section with precision. There are 9 rappels in all—varied and technical—in a wild and unspoiled setting.
05
Discovery Section: The Mailbox and the Jumps
The descent continues through the open section of the Angon Canyon. First feature: the legendary “mailbox,” the signature narrow passage that defines this canyon. The route then continues with small, optional jumps of up to 5 meters, natural slides, and water crossings, all set against a natural, sun-drenched backdrop with Lake Annecy in the distance.
06
Return trip
It takes 5 minutes to reach the finish line. It's been a long day, and the memories will last even longer.
07
Decommissioning
We return the equipment and find our belongings dry. Lake Annecy lies below us. A visual reward after four hours of adventure.
08

No. The Angon Intégral is a challenging canyoning route featuring a 65-meter rappel and a total of 9 rappels. Prior canyoning experience and proficiency in rappelling techniques are essential. If you’re a beginner, start with the Angon Découverte before attempting the Intégral route.
Yes, some of the abseils in the upper section are mandatory and cannot be bypassed. This is what makes the Angon Intégral an expert-level canyon. Technical proficiency in abseiling is essential before attempting this route.
Definitely yes. The 65-meter abseil takes place over a sheer drop with a bird’s-eye view of Lake Annecy. It’s spectacular and breathtaking. If you’re afraid of heights, the Angon Découverte option is much more suitable.
Yes! It’s one of the few canyons in the region that’s accessible without a car. By bus, take Line 20 (Annecy-Talloires) from the Annecy bus station to the Angon stop—it takes 45 minutes. By bike, it’s a 45-minute ride along the lakeside bike path, heading east toward Veyrier-du-Lac.
The Angon Découverte is open to climbers ages 10 and up, rated 1/4, with small jumps and accessible rappels. The Angon Intégral continues through the upper section with a 65-meter rappel and a total of 9 rappels, rated 4/4, and is reserved for experienced climbers ages 14 and up. Two canyons, two radically different experiences, in the same mountain range.
