Activity description

Come and challenge huge waterfalls ranging from 120 to 140 metres in the Gorgette and Craponoz canyons in the Chartreuse with the guides from Atmosphère Canyon!

Are you addicted to verticality and adrenalin? Then the Gorgette et Craponoz canyon in the Chartreuse massif is for you! Situated just a stone's throw from Grenoble, this canyon features two superb waterfalls, 120 and 140 metres high (the first cascades into a deep gorge, the second is very aerial), which is what gives it its charm. The descent of the Gorgette and Craponoz canyons is varied and technical, enough to delight abseiling enthusiasts! The last section of the canyon also offers a vertiginous 120-metre spider wire descent, the longest in Europe, to round off the trip in style!

This extreme canyon, reserved for experienced climbers with previous abseiling experience, is suspended 120 metres above the ground, offering a spectacular view of the Belledonne Massif opposite the Chartreuse.

Accompanied by a qualified and experienced canyoning guide, you will descend the Gorgette et Craponoz canyon and have a day full of thrills in the Chartreuse. To make sure you get the most out of the descent, you'll be provided with top-quality equipment and accompanied by your guide throughout.

Canyoning in the Chartreuse offers you a good dose of adrenalin, technique and sublime scenery! So book your trip down the Gorgette and Craponoz canyons!
