Clue d'Aiglun, Canyoning site in Sallagriffon, France
The Clue d'Aiglun canyon stretches 1500 meters with an 80-meter height difference, featuring the Esteron river flowing through limestone formations in the Alpes Maritimes.
The canyon became an established sports venue in 1928, marking the beginning of organized canyoning activities in the Alpes Maritimes region of southeastern France.
The canyon maintains strict safety protocols, requiring participants to meet age and physical requirements while following local water sports traditions of the French Alps.
Access to the canyon requires a 45-minute hike from the meeting point at Aiglun bridge, and participants need swimming attire plus athletic shoes for the 4-hour adventure.
The canyon contains multiple water-filled passages requiring mandatory 3-meter jumps and includes sections with natural siphons formed by the continuous water flow.

France's landscape features a variety of natural canyons carved by river erosion over millennia. These geological formations include the white limestone walls of Verdon, the red shale cliffs of Daluis Canyon, and the emerald waters of Ardèche. Each site reflects a unique geological history, with depths ranging from a few tens of meters to over 700 meters. The Tarn gorges stretch 50 kilometers between the Causses, while Verdon has created Europe's deepest canyon. In the Pyrenees, the Gorges de la Carança and Gorges de la Fou offer pathways with metal walkways. The Alps host the Aiglun Gorge and Daluis Gorges, recognizable by their Permian red rocks. These natural sites are suitable for hiking, climbing, kayaking, and feature many viewpoints to observe these rock formations from nearby roads.
