In the Vercors

Suitable for ages 8 and up, it still has some surprising technical sections. Thrills guaranteed for the whole family.

Don’t let its unassuming name fool you. The Ecouges Canyon is one of the most iconic canyons in the Grenoble region. Carved into remarkable limestone, it features a series of spectacular waterfalls, technical rappels of up to 28 meters, and pools of rare beauty. This canyon offers great value from the first obstacle to the last.
Furon Haut Canyon, the most popular canyon in Isère
Even lifelong residents of Grenoble need to rediscover it. The Furon Haut is the must-see canyon, just 15 minutes from Grenoble and 1 hour from Lyon. It features jumps of up to 9 meters, water slides, a zip line, short rappels, and a final “Express” section to end the adventure on a high note. The water flow is regulated by the Engins Dam, making it navigable even during dry periods. It’s the full package.
