Description
The region of Jura, in the East of France, has some of the most beautiful canyons. In this occasion I invite you to a half-day canyoning trip at the Gorges de Malvaux.
We will be at Foncine-le-Bas. This canyoning descent is very aquatic. It is one of the most playful descents in the Jura, with jumps coming one right after the other. Besides the many jumps, there will be toboggans and beautiful aquatic passages.
The option of Gorges de Malvaux is ideal for an initiation in canyoning. Indeed, the terrain characteristics offer a great choice for a first experience in this activity. We will get the chance to go up the jumps, gaining confidence throughout the journey. Finally, we will save the best jump for the end, when you will be completely into the atmosphere. No jump is obligatory here, you can also decide to walk it.
But don’t think this itinerary is exclusive for beginners! You will also have a great time if you are more experienced in the practice.
To participate in this activity, you need to be in good physical shape and know how to swim. Children from 12 years old are welcome.
Come discover the results of thousands of years of water flowing by these limestone walls in the Jura! Please send me a request to book this trip. I will be waiting for your message! Another great 1/2 day canyoning option in the area is La Langouette, check it out.

Mountain Guide
The Jura massif is an ideal place to learn and grow your experience in alpine techniques. I practice mountaineering, ski touring and ice climbing in the winter. I am also located very close to the Swiss and French alpine massifs.
First, I started as a ski rescuer. My passion for skiing and climbing helped me discover the classic routes in the mythical summits of the Alps. The first mountain courses I went on with friends as a guide - which I did with a lot of effort, doubts and perseverance - were much needed to build my experience. Still, they also gave me a lot of joy, and I was able to pursue them while laughing and creating beautiful moments shared.
My experience and terrain knowledge will allow you to move safely and enjoy your time, without a promise of the summit but of sharing a privileged and unique moment in the mountains.
Finally, I'm a fully certified IFMGA mountain guide.
