We all have hobbies and activities that we love doing. These are usually decided by our childhood, friends and our surroundings. I have always been an active person & love playing and working outside. So when I made to move to Vallee de la Ceze my surroundings changed dramatically. I was now surrounded by the lush, beautiful & rugged terrain the Gard is known for. Once you add the incredible climate we have here, Outdoor sports seem alot more accesible and easier to persue. Watersports in particular are alot more attractive due to the long warm days and abundance of rivers.
2015 was the year I discovered Canyoning. You are probably asking yourself, what is Canyoning? Here is my quick explanation – canyoning is descending a river using using a variety of techniques that may include walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling (rappelling), and swimming. You generally start off up in the mountains near the source of the river where the water flow, volume & current is still relatively low. While descending you will encounter boulders, cliffs, waterfalls & other obstructions which you will have to overcome by either swimming, jumping, climbing or abseiling. Sounds kind of Scary…. Don´t worry all Canyoning tours have highly qualified tour-guides who know what they are doing.
Below is a video I made of my Canyoning tours 2015. La Borne Integrale & Chassezac Integrale are shown:
If you are looking to do a Canyoning tour I highly reccommend using Face-Sud. Their guides are multi-lingual and are very experienced. If you feel capable and want to experience something different this is really worth doing!
