Canyoning
Canyoning in Morzine is an exhilarating and challenging adventure. Over thousands of years, the Nyon river has carved a canyon, creating natural water slides, rock pools, and waterfalls.
Canyoning in Morzine
Canyoning takes about 3 hours. You need to be able to swim and have a head for heights. It is recommended for children 12 and up. You start with a 42m abseil off a bridge into the canyon. With your guide, you navigate down by jumping into rock pools, sliding down natural slides, being lowered into waterfalls, and abseiling the final big waterfall. This thrilling experience is not for the faint-hearted!
Canyoning Practical Info
The water is icy cold, so you’ll receive a padded wetsuit to stay warm, along with a helmet and harness for safety. Take along a towel and wear trainers you don’t mind getting wet.
We can book this activity for guests staying at our self-catered chalets in Morzine. To book please contact us by email at info@reach4thealps.com
