This department, known for its various canyons and rich history, is the ideal location for this pastime, especially in the summer.

Where to go canyoning in Isère?

There are several alternatives for this type of activity, particularly in the Vercors massif, which offers five canyons to explore. The Furon canyon, the Moules Marinières canyon, the Ecouges canyon, the Versoud canyon, and the Pissarde canyon are among them. These canyons are quite accessible and range in difficulty from easy for beginners to tough for experienced hikers. Don't worry because everyone can participate in this activity!

• Furon Canyon:

This comprehensive and entertaining lesson is divided into two sections: the upper and lower parts of the Furon. The upper section is suited for all levels and allows you to alternate between many obstacles like slides, a zip line, rappels, and 9-meter leaps that are optional for those who do not wish to jump.

Meanwhile, the lower section is a little shorter in length but delivers more powerful emotions and is thus targeted at a more experienced audience. The Tuf waterfall, where you can abseil down 20 metres, has higher jumps and rappels. You'll also have the option of sliding through multiple syphons, and the boldest will be able to attempt a 12-meter jump, though this is not required.

These three-hour descents will allow you to discover this extraordinary setting while having a good time at a reasonable price. It will be conceivable for major canyoning fans to link the two canyons and therefore experience the Furon in its entirety.

Have no fear in terms of safety! The Engins dam, which manages flow changes, totally protects the canyon from possible rising waters.

• Moules Marinières Canyon:

This 1500-meter-long canyon will enthral all of your loved ones with its breathtaking landscape and a series of difficulties, each more enjoyable than the last. It is sure to instil an undeniable enthusiasm for canyoning. This canyon's route can be broken down into two sections. You will have the opportunity to do the first abseil of 10 metres followed by two slides in the first segment, which is calmer than the second.

It will take you 10 minutes to walk to the second portion of the canyon. Rest assured, these ten minutes are well worth it, given the rest of the course's show. You'll traverse through narrow tunnels, beneath boulders, and over brilliant obstacles! It also includes a non-compulsory 7-meter jump and a similarly incredible descent down a 17-meter fault. A 10-meter long slide awaits you after the course to round off the experience!

From June to September, this canyon is open to the public at a reasonable cost.

• The Ecouges Canyon:

This canyon, designed for experienced canyoners, is undoubtedly, the most challenging of all the Vercors canyons, and, like the Furon canyon, it is divided into an upper (4-hour) and the lower section (4 hours).

The first half is the higher part, is an extremely vertical route. The canyon descends into a deep valley, including a series of spectacular abseils, the largest of which is a 70-meter drop.

If you don't want to abseil and prefer a more aquatic segment with a 10-meter jump to the 'bottom gourd', jumps and slides will take precedence in the second section.

You will, of course, be able to connect the two portions of the Ecouges. If you've done some canyoning before and are seeking a thrilling experience, the Ecouges canyon is the place to go!

• Canyons of Versoud and Pissarde:

Both these canyons have similar characteristics and are ideal for all canyoning beginners. These courses last around 3 hours and can be done with family or friends and feature a series of waterfalls with abseils, slides, and jumps that will excite both the young and old in an outstanding location.

If you are going through or live in Isère, you must see the canyons of the Chartreuse massif. This massif is an excellent location for canyoning, particularly in the gorges of the Alloix and the Infernet. These two locations are only for experienced persons because of the technicality they involve, yet they are still extremely reasonably priced.

• The canyon of Alloix:

This is a rather vertical course that lasts 4 hours (or 3 hours depending on your preferences). It includes a variety of obstacles such as rappels, the highest of which is approximately 45 metres and descends like a spider's thread. The uniqueness of this descent is that you will no longer be able to touch the rock with your feet and will instead be suspended in the void by your rope, like a spider on its thread. This abseiling descent will wow you and give you the shivers. However, you can turn to take in a breath-taking view. There will also be some lovely leaps and slides.

• The Canyon of the Infernet:

Without a doubt, the most magnificent canyon in the Chartreuse massif is this three-hour-long gorge. You'll start with a 100-meter run, followed by leaps, abseils, and incredible slides. This is an unforgettable activity for adrenaline junkies, where you will be immersed in an exceptional and timeless atmosphere for a brief instant.
