Canyoning in the Ardèche region developed during the 1980s when outdoor adventure sports gained popularity in France, transforming the area's deep gorges and erosion-carved passages into recognized destinations for supervised river descents and technical exploration of natural water courses.
Local guides integrate regional knowledge and environmental awareness into each outing, emphasizing responsible practices to protect the limestone landscape and encouraging participants to respect wildlife habitats while sharing stories about the geological formation of the gorges and local traditions.
The operator is located at 1254 Chemin du Bois Saint-Martin in Labeaume and provides all necessary equipment including wetsuits, helmets, harnesses, and safety gear, with sessions priced between 50 and 90 euros per person depending on route difficulty and duration.
Participants navigate sections where erosion has carved smooth natural slides and pools into the limestone bedrock, creating passages that reveal millions of years of geological activity and offer close encounters with native species like kingfishers and otters along the waterways.
