Description
Challenge yourself with this guided canyoning adventure, in which you will explore the longest canyon in Europe over the course of 2 adrenaline filled days!
Bendola Canyon, located in Southern France near the border with Italy, is the longest canyon in Europe, boasting 15km of length and 1,500 meters of vertical drop. It is a setting so grand and awe-inspiring that you cannot help but be impressed by the scale and beauty of the landscape. Plus, these incredible dimensions make for some of the best canyoning conditions in Europe.
The route is spectacular, yet tough. Your endurance will be tested as you are guided through 35 rappels, with little or no water. Thus, for this program, solid abseiling technique and a high level of physical fitness are required. Strong swimming skills are also mandatory, and there are opportunities for swimming along the way. After a full day of adventure, we will spend a tranquil night sleeping under the stars, as we bivouac in the wilderness during this trip.
On Day 1 of this program, we will depart at 5am from the village of Breil sur Roya. The village is accessible by train or flight from Nice, and, upon request, we are happy to help you arrange accommodation the night before the trip. Transportation will be provided between the village and the entry and point of the canyon, but is not included back to the village at the end of the trip. Rental canyoneering equipment is included, as are breakfast, picnics, and dinner while we are in the canyoning but drinks are not included. Participants should bring their own sleeping bag and blanket for the night spent in a bivouac.
Book this trip now and test yourself by canyoning in Europe’s longest canyon! These two days truly be a chance to enjoy the wonders of nature and the excitement of outdoor exploration in a stunning setting.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
