Canyoning: thrills and unspoilt nature
Canyoning at Chambéry Montagnes is a must-try activity for thrill-seekers and nature lovers. Kitted out in a neoprene wetsuit, a helmet and a harness, you’ll descend a canyon carved out by water over the centuries. On the programme: jumps into crystal-clear pools, natural slides, abseiling beneath waterfalls and refreshing slides. Suitable for ages 12 and over depending on the route, canyoning combines sport, fun and exploration.
Aquarando: gentle white-water fun
For a gentler version suitable for everyone, opt for aquarando. With no abseiling sections or compulsory jumps, this water hike takes place in the beds of mountain rivers, often as you make your way upstream. It’s an ideal activity for families, groups of friends or anyone wishing to enjoy the pleasures of white water without any technical difficulty.
Exceptional sites in the Bauges and Chartreuse
The Bauges and Chartreuse mountain ranges offer magnificent sites where clear water winds its way between rocks and lush vegetation. Local guides know every nook and cranny and ensure your safety whilst sharing anecdotes and technical tips.
A cocktail of thrills, Élixir de Savoie style
Canyoning and aquarando take place from May to September, depending on weather conditions and water levels. Remember to book your trip in advance, and bring a swimsuit, closed-toe shoes and plenty of energy!
A true mix of thrills and stunning scenery, these activities perfectly embody the Élixir de Savoie spirit: a clever blend of excitement, nature and shared experiences. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned adventurer, you’ll leave with splashing memories… and a burning desire to do it all again.
