Water Hiking
This is the Verdon’s flagship activity, and you’ll be walking, swimming and jumping in the heart of the grand canyon! For half a day or more, it’s back to basics.
You don’t need much equipment here, just a good mood: get on your back, feet first, and let yourself be carried along by the current, effortlessly and with a smile.
Swimming, sliding, walking, small jumps and a natural toboggan – this descent has something for everyone!
It’s a great eye-opening experience, a little more fun and relaxed than a hike.
