PLANNING
Meet at 9:00 am or 2:00 pm at La Batie, near the old “restaurant des chasseurs” (see access map), near the Jabron canyon.
Reception of participants by canyoning guides and delivery of equipment. An approach walk (30mn.) Through a pretty pine forest provides access to the Jabron canyon.
The activity begins with an introduction to rappelling techniques by the guide.
Canyoning in the Jabron
Then we enter the Jabron canyon by first walking in its bed. To descend into the canyon itself, we will make a small easy abseil of 5 m. Then, a narrow parade awaits us, a slide on a toboggan (the “Gunner”), a passage in a cattery, other slides, different jumps in the basins (more or less high for the more or less courageous). If you feel like it, you can redo some workshops (abseils, jumps, etc.), or test your new knowledge on a 15m abseil ending in “spider’s thread” (suspended in the air), see taste some surprises from the guide! The less adventurous can be satisfied with the classic route, but it is very likely that they too will take a liking to the multiple possibilities offered by this canyon. Then we just have to walk back to find the starting point. Jumps and slides are not compulsory and can be rappelled. The Jabron is a short, but spectacular canyon that allows you to discover all aspects of the activity.
