Reception & Facilities

Welcome to Furon Intégral, the full-day canyoning adventure just 15 minutes from Grenoble! Your CANRIV guide will meet you at the Mayousse Bridge and outfit you for 5 hours of adventure: a neoprene wetsuit, socks, a helmet, and a harness. We have a long day ahead of us, so let’s get off to a good start.

Furon Haut, Part 1

We start with the Furon Haut. After a 5-minute walk, the canyon opens up in the Vercors Massif. There are progressively higher jumps up to 9 meters, natural slides, a variety of rappels, and a zip line that really leaves a lasting impression. The “Express” section at the end of the course brings together the best obstacles to finish the Furon Haut on a high note. It’s an excellent warm-up before moving on to the next part.

A well-deserved break between the two halves

A break to eat, recharge, and mentally prepare for the second half. Because the best is yet to come.

Furon Bas, the Final Part

We’re off again to the Furon Bas. The atmosphere changes, and the obstacles get tougher. The 20-meter abseil with its travertine waterfall is the signature section of this second part—an unforgettable moment in the Vercors. The descent continues with optional siphons to explore, jumps of up to 12 meters, and cold, crystal-clear water fed by the Sassenage caves. The Furon Bas wraps up a day already packed with thrills, featuring the most challenging obstacles on the route.

Exit from the canyon

Removal of Equipment and Return of Materials

We return the gear and find our things dry. Six hours in the Vercors—that takes its toll. In a good way.

Do you have any questions about this program?

We'll answer all your questions

No, the Furon Intégral is rated 3/4 and requires a good level of physical fitness to complete the 6-hour canyoning trip. Prior canyoning experience is recommended. If you’re a beginner, start with the Furon Haut on its own before attempting the full-day trip.

Ages 12 and up, provided you are comfortable in the water and have good stamina. Six hours of canyoning is a long time, even for the fittest participants. Be sure to prepare accordingly.

You need to be in good overall physical condition. A 5-hour canyoning trip with various obstacles and plenty of walking requires stamina. You don’t have to be an athlete, but you do need to be in good shape and have had a good night’s sleep the night before.

No, all obstacles are optional. The Furon Haut zipline and the Furon Bas siphons can be bypassed. The guide adapts the route to each person’s skill level and preferences throughout the day.

Yes, this is the ultimate outing for sports-loving bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Grenoble area. A full day of zip-lining, a 20-meter rappel, and jumps of up to 12 meters. Memorable from start to finish. Contact us to organize your group.
