Activity description

Come to discover this magnificent place which is the canyon of Vacca in the massif of Aiguilles de Bavella, on the east coast of Corsica, with the instructors of Corsica Canyon!

It is in the canyon of the Vacca that is born one of the most beautiful rivers of Corsica, the Solenzara, crossing the village of the same name at the edge of the coast. The Vacca is a canyon that offers a fantastic narrowing, in a cathedral-like setting surrounded by a multitude of needles. You will have the pleasure of descending a course composed of two long reaches between huge rock walls: a splendid natural setting of the Aiguilles de Bavella massif!

A series of jumps and swims await you in the Vacca canyon, a sporty canyon requiring a good physical condition and a first experience of canyoning. You will spend a refreshing half-day rich in sensations in the heart of the Aiguilles de Bavella massif, near Zonza and Solenzara!

If you are looking for a canyoning experience that is worth the detour in Corsica, the Vacca canyon will meet your expectations!

Atemberaubende Flusswanderung, die etwas Mut erfordert. Schwimmen, springen und abseilen - für jeden ist was dabei. Steiler Rückweg!!!

Very cool!!

Tolle Tour mit vielen Sprüngen, zweimal abseilen, keine Rutschen, etwas herausfordernder Rückweg

  • 5 / 5

Abwechslungsreiche, idyllische und mit atemberaubenden Aussichten gesegnete Schlucht. Schwimmen, springen, rutschen und Abseilen, von allem ist was dabei. Allerdings langer, steiler und anstrengender Rückweg, mit guter Kondition allerdings machbar.

Anspruchsvoll und genial

Canyoning magnifique avec un top guide Seb

  • 4 / 5

Die Tour hat der Beschreibung entsprochen, wobei wir für den Rückweg nur 45 min gebraucht haben. Der erste Sprung ist gleich eine Überwindung. Wenn es einen kleinen Einstiegssprung gäbe, wäre das super, aber auch so sind alle gesprungen. Insgesamt habe ich ein par mehr Sprünge erwartet, aber trotzdem hat es viel Spaß gemacht!
