Canyoning around Lac de Serre Ponçon: a refreshing family adventure
Just a few kilometers from Camping la Palatrière, canyoning is a must-do summer activity for families in search of thrills and refreshment. The gorges and torrents of the Ubaye valley, and in particular the canyons of La Blache and Costeplane, offer routes suitable for all levels, combining jumps, natural slides and abseiling. These aquatic adventures allow you to discover wild, unspoilt landscapes, while sharing convivial, fun-filled moments.
Canyoning is an ideal way to strengthen family ties and enjoy unique experiences in the great outdoors. Supervised by professionals, participants are safely equipped with wetsuits, helmets and harnesses. The courses are designed to be progressive, allowing children aged 12 and over to take it easy, while the more adventurous can opt for more technical itineraries. This refreshingly accessible activity is the perfect way to brighten up summer days and create memorable family moments.
