Écouges Canyon, Mountain defile in Isère, France
The Écouges Canyon extends for 500 meters through limestone formations, featuring a substantial waterfall that drops 65 meters in the Vercors massif.
The canyon formed over millions of years as the La Drevenne river carved through the limestone bedrock of the Vercors mountain range.
The canyon serves as a natural training ground for French mountaineering groups who practice technical rope skills and water navigation techniques.
Visitors need 50 meters of rope and proper safety equipment to navigate the canyon's vertical descents during the three-hour exploration route.
The canyon presents a sequence of cascades, including notable drops of 21 and 25 meters, creating natural obstacles throughout the descent path.
