J'ai été ravi de la qualité de l'organisation et du sérieux de notre accompagnant. Un petit groupe de 7 bien sympa, tout a long de la journée. Cool et frais...sans avoir froid ! 😀

Très bonne première expérience en canyoning dans les gorges du loup , idéal pour débuter, les derniers sauts sont assez hauts mais pas obligatoires. Notre guide Jérôme était au top

We had a great time canyoning with the family and I enjoyed some good climbs with my sons. They were flexible and Olivier was helpful and responded really fast.

Level 2 canyoning gedaan. Leuk, gevarieerd parcour met 2x abseilen, vele sprongen en glijbanen. Prachtige natuur. Georges is een topgids die goed op de veiligheid let en duidelijke instructies geeft. Ook de communicatie met Olivier vooraf bij het boeken is perfect. Er worden geen foto's gemaakt tijdens de canyoning, dat had wel leuk geweest.

Expérience extraordinaire. Notre guide, Rémi était top, il a su s’adapter à chaque personne et a été à l’écoute. Et le parcours de 2h-2h30 avec des vues surprenantes est passé à une vitesse incroyable. Merci Rémi ☺️

Première expérience de canyoning incroyable dans les gorges du Loup. Descente en rappel, toboggans, petits sauts, grands sauts, tout y est ! Un grand merci à Olivier mais aussi aux deux guides, Rémi et Simon, pour leur sympathie et leur professionnalisme ! Merci encore !

My family of 8 (14-38) enjoyed a day of canyoning and absailing whilst in France. We chose Oliver’s company due to his excellent communication. He even gave us lots of recommendations for our trip. He would always get back quickly and was very informative. The rates were excellent as we had over 6 people. We were met by Julien our guide who was lovely, comical and embraced our Scottish accent. He was a good laugh throughout. The activity was excellent. We learned to absail too which was fun! Everyone loved the whole experience. If booking please note: there are no changing areas. We had to change in our cars but we dried quickly in the summer sun. I would have loved if the guides had cameras to take photos. We done ghyll scrambling in the Lake District and there were 2 guides - one of which would take lots of photos for us! Although I appreciate, another guide would increase costs and the currents in some of the waters may be unsafe! But just a suggestion :) We would 100% recommend Olivers company and if we were ever returning to water canyon we would absolutely use this company again!

Gorges du Loup canyon close to Grasse and Vence, the best half day tour near Nice

Where to discover canyoning in the French Riviera? Descending the Gorges du Loup canyon is perfect either for a family outing or for a group of sportsmen. The Loup is really the best half day canyoning tour around Nice. It is an amusing route in a magnificent natural setting close to Grasse, Vence and Cagnes sur Mer. You will have to drive around 50 minutes from Antibes, Cannes and Mandelieu. It takes an hour to drive from Nice to the spot.

In addition, the Loup River always has a good water flow even during years of severe drought. We generally descend the Loup Canyon at level 2, that is to say with introduction to abseiling. That said, it is still possible to discover it in aquatic hiking mode.

How difficult is the Gorges du Loup canyon?

Jumping and tobogganing down the river is good fun. As the Gorges du Loup canyon is not narrow, you can walk down around the obstacles if you do not wish to jump or slide down. So it is suitable for children over 8 years old and beginners in general as an initiation to canyoning.
On the other hand, it can be a challenging and thrilling experience for sportsmen who like tobogganing and you can jump down from rocks 10 meters above the water. Your canyoning guide will show you different options according to your level.

In grade 2 tour, you will start a little higher and you will abseil down two waterfalls. One is 12 meters high, the other is 8 meters high. We generally always go on grade 2 tour as it’s very easy to learn the abseiling technique.

If you don’t want to learn how to abseil, the best is to choose the grade 1 tour, also known as aquatic hike.
It is up to you to choose the option when you contact me to book for your canyoning trip in Gorges du Loup.

Rates

For grade one canyon, 50 euros per person and 45 euros if you book for 6 people and more.
For grade two canyon, 55 euros per person and 50 euros if you book for 6  people and more.
You will pay your canyoning guide with cash when you arrive on the spot.

What do you need?

Swimming trunks and sport shoes, like running shoes or tennis shoes, but do not wear bathing shoes . I will provide technical gear.

Meeting point for Gorges du Loup canyon

Do not come without contacting me to book as I cannot take too many people.


First you must drive to Pont du Loup, between Bar sur Loup and Vence. From Pont du Loup, you have to drive up the gorge in direction of Greolières. After leting the Saut du Loup on your right, you will arrive to a place called Bramafan. Just after entering Bramafan, take a small path on your right called Chemin des Cabanes (It’s indicated Pré-Royer, GR51). Park on Chemin des Cabanes on the places on the right of the path after driving about 100m.
