Vertical activities
Apart from climbing, Rock'n Wild offers vertical activities of a few hours, which allow people who do not practice climbing to discover the cliffs and rocky environments of the Verdon, to access vertiginous places, steep-sided and retreated and to live intense emotions, by standing alongside the « gaz », in other words the vacuum, safely.
Dry canyons
Once a riverbed that has since dried up, the dry canyon can be explored without a wetsuit. It’s the perfect alternative for exploring wilderness areas year-round, far from the hustle and bustle of water-based canyoning.
- AccessiblePerfect for families, children, and those who are hesitant about whitewater
- All year roundOpen nearly 365 days a year
- Technical & FunLearn abseiling, down-climbing and progression on ropes (fixed ropes)
Mainmorte canyon
The Mainmorte Canyon was formed by a tributary of the Verdon River and offers a stunning hike through a rugged, wild section of the Verdon Gorges. In places, the canyon is very steep and dark, transporting us into a magical, otherworldly landscape. This somewhat adventurous hike requires a reasonable level of physical fitness and a head for heights.
Cabrielle Canyon
Also known as the Ravin de la Rouvière, the Cabrielle Canyon is a rather dizzying dry canyon that flows into the Verdon. The atmosphere is particularly impressive, with the sheer drop, the largely overhanging walls, and the roaring rapids far below. This canyon is intended for athletic individuals who are comfortable with vertical terrain and already proficient in rappelling. Due to its technical difficulty, scale, and demanding nature, we can only accompany a limited number of clients.
Notre Dame canyon
The Notre Dame Canyon is a lovely little canyon overlooking the beautiful village of Moustiers. It's the perfect setting for exploring a dry canyon. The first part of the canyon is quite steep and narrow. At times, it even feels like you're caving! This hike doesn't require you to be particularly athletic, but you shouldn't be too prone to vertigo.
Vénascle Canyon
Although not far from the beautiful, tourist-friendly village of Moustiers, the Vénascle Canyon is a wild and magical place. Deeply incised, narrow, and at times even dark, the descent features a dozen short rappels. Note that carpooling can help you avoid the climb up the Roman road. This route requires a moderate level of fitness, particularly due to the downclimbing sections.
In the event of heavy rain that makes the site impassable, we reserve the right to cancel the outing for your safety (full refund in accordance with our Terms and Conditions)
Via cordas
Via Corda is a more rugged and natural alternative to a via ferrata. Guided by an instructor, you'll make your way along the cliffs of the Verdon while secured to a rope safety line. With zip lines, rope bridges, and rappels, this fun, high-altitude adventure immerses you in the heart of an unspoiled rocky landscape, all while offering exceptional views of the Gorges.
- Secured path along cliff faces
- Stunning panoramic views
- Beginner-friendly with guide assistance
- No prior climbing experience needed
- All safety equipment included
Trou du Renard
Located in the heart of the Verdon gorges, the « trou du renard » (fox hole) is a dizzying and very playful adventure course, which offers a beautiful view of the canyon. It consists of different activities: handrails, a forty meters zip line, « Tarzan's jump », abseils in spider thread about twenty meters, passage in a cave...
To provide
Comfortable hiking shoes with good grip, weather-appropriate clothing, water bottle, and a small backpack. All technical equipment (harness, helmet, carabiners) is provided.
Nights in portaledge
A portaledge is a platform that allows climbers to spend the night on the wall. Without necessarily being a climber, you can experience the thrill of a night on a cliff of the Verdon. Don't worry, you won't have to climb several pitches to reach or leave your portaledge. Access will be easy. However, you will fully enjoy a breathtaking view and can admire the sunset and sunrise, the star-spangled vault and immerse yourself in the nocturnal magic of the canyon...
