Reception & Facilities

Welcome to your Annecy Montmin canyoning adventure! Your CANRIV guide will meet you at the parking lot and outfit you with a neoprene wetsuit, socks, a helmet, and a harness. In 15 minutes, we’ll be in the water.

On the Way to Adventure

It's a 15-minute walk to the canyon entrance in the Tournette massif. The lush green surroundings already give a hint of what lies ahead in the canyon.

Safety briefing and entry into the canyon

A thorough briefing before diving into the Montmin pools. The guide explains the obstacles and swimming techniques. Because here, swimming is part of the program.

Canyon Descent

Right from the start, the tone is set: first comes the “Entrance Gate” section, then the water features follow one after another without pause. Lush green pools where you have to swim to move forward, cascades of oddly shaped tufa formations, a cave of limestone concretions to explore, the “Camel Jump,” and finally the ejector slide to end on a high note. The Montmin Canyon keeps you on your toes and surprises you at every turn. One of the best canyoning experiences near Annecy.

The Return of the Adventurers

It takes 15 minutes to get to the parking lot. Lake Annecy is very close by if you'd like to end the day at the beach.

Removal of Equipment and Return of Materials

We return the equipment and find our belongings dry. The lush green pools of Montmin have left their mark.

A Fun Time & Memories

We’ll head back down in storytelling mode with the guide. The limestone cave and the slide are always a hit with everyone.
