Gours du Ray
The canyon of Gours du Ray is accessible for everybody, in between friends or family.
Meeting point at 9 :30am or 2 :00pm downtown Gréolières, on the car park « La Faïsse » (see access map).
There, the canyoning guides would welcome you, distribute the gears and do the technical
and safety briefing.
After a short walk (10mn), you would enjoy a 2 hours trip alternating jumps (challenge you on the 8m. high jump !), swimming in limpid water, walking on the verdant shore.
Several abseils and natural slides would make you thrilling !
Then, the group would hike back (40mn) on a nice and wooded path.
