Activity description

Want to go canyoning near Lake Annecy? No need to go very far, go to the beach of Angon to discover the canyon of Angon!

Canyoning is an outdoor activity similar to caving, hiking, climbing and mountaineering, but also to white water sports. The aim is to progress in a river bed that runs through gorges or narrow ravines, with waterfalls, a succession of jumps, slides and abseiling. The sensations are guaranteed during a canyoning trip!

Takamaka's team of state-qualified instructors will help you discover the superb mountain features of the Haute-Savoie during this canyoning activity in the Angon canyon, a stone's throw from Annecy! The canyon and the Angon waterfall in Talloires-Montmin allow you to discover the main aspects of canyoning: abseils, jumps, slides and walking in the river full of natural obstacles, all in a beautiful setting which mixes limestone rocks, fresh water and forest.

The proximity of Lake Annecy and the fun, family-friendly nature of the Angon canyon will make you love this outdoor sport! Beginners can start with the discovery course, while those with a little more experience will love the advanced course.

So book the formula that suits you and spend a sporty and friendly time in the Angon canyon, near Annecy!

Pour un moment découverte ça a été très sportif. 20 à 30 minutes de marche dans la montagne ; fort courant. Un moment où on s’est surpassés et les explications claire donc belle expérience
