Canyoning the Bollene Vésubie is truly a small adventure in the mountains near Nice. It is a grade 2 canyon requiring a full day, with a lot of fun and variety, quite a few jumps and toboggans, but not extremely difficult though you have to be fit as it will take four hours. And only an hour’s drive from Nice, Saint Laurent du Var and Cagnes sur mer.
Is canyoning difficult in the Bollene Vésubie?
As graded 2, canyoning the Bollene is moderately difficult. It is one of the easiest full-day canyons and as a consequence will be suitable for an initiation to canyoning. The technical challenge is moderate and it is an enjoyable route with a lot of fun, jumps and toboggans. The approach walk is short and you won’t have to walk a lot to get back. Children older than 12 can do it, but experienced people will be able to face impressive obstacles if they choose.
