Cramassouri is probably one of the most beautiful half-day canyons on the Côte d’Azur for beginners. At 45 minutes from Nice, Antibes or Cannes by car, at the beginning of the Tinée valley, this is an ideal spot for a gradual introduction to canyoning.
Alex storm in october 2020 has deeply modified the Cramassouri canyon, bringing some stones in the pools. However, the big rains of 2024 spring started to dig again the canyon and it is good fun to go with young children as it’s now possible to do small slides! This canyon is also perfect if you just want to relax in an incredible spot.
Is canyoning in Cramassouri difficult?
While following the river, you’ll meet small obstacles like slides or abseils but nothing is really complicated. The canyon will be perfect to learn how to abseil gradually and you will become more and more confident. The highest abseil (10 meters) will be at the end. You will also find small slides which will be perfect to introduce young children to canyoning during a funny outing! On top of that, the water is rather warm and it’s ideal for the young ones.
The rocks above the river are statuesque and no doubt it is one of the most beautiful canyons of the French Riviera.
So it is a perfect introduction to canyoning as well as a fine way to enjoy an afternoon in a magnificent environment.
If you are searching for big jumps or slides, the best would be to do Gorges du loup canyon.
