South of France

Canyoning through the Gorges du Loup

Waterfalls, clear pools and the wilder side of the Riviera, hidden beyond the coast.

the day

A cooler way to spend a hot day.

Trade the coastline for the Gorges du Loup, where a guide leads you into the river itself, moving through waterfalls, natural pools and narrow stretches of limestone. The pace follows the group, with plenty of time to take in the landscape between the more exhilarating sections.

The landscape

The Riviera, with the volume turned up.

The Loup River cuts through the limestone hills inland from the Côte d’Azur, creating a landscape of shaded rock walls, rushing water and deep pools. As the gorge narrows, the Mediterranean feels increasingly distant, replaced by the sound and movement of the river.

The experience

Into the gorge itself.

Swim through cool pools, scramble over rock, slide down natural chutes and follow the river deeper into the gorge. With a guide adapting the route to the group and the conditions, the experience can be shaped around different levels of confidence, keeping the adventure enjoyable from start to finish.

The return

Back home, with the afternoon ahead.

Return home sun-warmed and pleasantly tired, then let the pace soften again. Ease into the pool, find a shaded lounger and stay there for a while, a welcome contrast to the energy of the gorge.
