The descent

Le parcours The course

Canoe Kayak 07

The descent of 12 km is created in 2012 with the construction of canoe slides, quickly becoming a must during your stay in the Ardèche.

A little longer than the Mini Descent but just as easy, this trip of about 3 hours of paddling will take you to 3 canoe slides and the passage through the Pont d’Arc.

After a short briefing by one of our employees, you will start your adventure of 3 hours with fun and excitement in the canoe slides and some easy rapids, swimming, relaxing, pick nicking… This experience in the heart of the Gorges de l’Ardèche is unforgettable.

Once you’ve finished your descent, our team is waiting for you at the end to organise your return with the bus.
