ROCK CLIMBING IN THE GORGES OF THE DOURBIE, JONTE AND TARN RIVERS
Emerging approximately 30 years ago and giving rise to numerous related activities, climbing is THE benchmark in climbing and mountain sports. Accessible from a very young age and at any age, this sport allows the whole family to breathe in the fresh air while engaging in physical activity in a natural setting, adapted to everyone's level.

Renowned for their climbing spots, the Jonte and Tarn Gorges offer numerous routes suitable for both beginners and experienced climbers. The Boffi site, on the Dourbie side, will also delight everyone.

Come discover or rediscover climbing by following the same routes as the first climbers in an exceptional natural setting. You will climb on soft limestone, riddled with all kinds of holes, and on walls of every type, from the most rounded to the most irregularly shaped, with immense routes that can sometimes exceed 50 meters and make every climbing enthusiast dream.

We offer professional guidance, tailored to your level to allow you to progress safely.

Climbing using only your hands and feet... but safely secured with a rope!!!

The Dourbie, Jonte and Tarn gorges contain numerous practice sites:

for the initiation
for experienced practitioners
for experts
Several options are also possible:

bouldering (up to 4m high)
on crags (from 5 to 30m)
or on long routes (up to 140m)
Here, the limestone is sculpted and has a consistently impeccable grain. It's no wonder, then, that the Grands Causses are among the top destinations for this activity... It would be a shame not to take advantage of it!

Challenge, respect, trust, concentration, determination... climbing has no shortage of qualities for this complete sport.

Are your mental game and tactical choices up to scratch?


GIANT RAPPEL: SELF-MANAGED VERTICAL ROPE DESCENT
The reminder: What is it?

Rappelling is the action of descending along a double rope and then pulling it back up (hence the name) to continue the descent.

In the heart of a spectacular site offering multiple rappels (up to 120m), this activity is a true moment of sensations and experiences, during which everyone manages their speed in complete safety.

Once you are safely equipped by one of our instructors, it will be up to you to face the fear of heights by tilting yourself into your harness, and then all you have to do is admire the view during the descent!

The first part is dedicated to initiation to familiarize oneself with the equipment and basic techniques; then practical application on platforms of 30 to 120m... A breathtaking experience!

If luck is on your side you will have the honor of encountering some vultures during the descent, guardians of the place since ancient times.

GREEN CANYON OR DRY CANYON
You love canyoning but hate getting your feet wet!

So, the green canyon is perfect for you! Come and explore with family or friends, rivers that once sculpted the rock, offering us an incredible mineral landscape in the heart of the Tarn gorges.

Just a stone's throw from the troglodyte village of Saint Marcellin, you can explore the region's unique landscapes and observe the local flora and fauna.

Equipped with your helmet and harness, you'll explore these now-dry canyons. These dry canyons are perfect for enjoying the thrill of rappelling, for which one of our certified instructors will provide a briefing. After that, no rappel will scare you!

Between hiking and adventure in the heart of a natural setting, the green canyon is above all fun! Combining climbing and canyoning techniques, the activity is a good compromise for those who hesitate to fully commit to one of the two activities.

Vertical experiences where sport and thrills are guaranteed!
