Canyoning in Annecy : Montmin canyon “very sporty” or “discovery” option
Annecy canyoning Montmin “very sporty” or “discovery” option
We offer canyoning between Annecy and Albertville with the canyon of Montmin.
The Montmin canyon is located above the village of Vésonne on the Montmin road towards the Col de la Forclaz. This canyon is located in Haute-Savoie near Lake Annecy, 30 minutes from Albertville.
You can choose between 2 different canyoning options on the same river :
Either a “very sporty option” open to adults and children aged 14 and over in VERY good physical condition, with a total duration varying from 3h to 3h30.
Or a “discovery option” open to adults and children aged 12 and over in good physical condition, lasting around 2h30.
These two versions of the Montmin canyon are both aquatic and fun, with abseils and top-roping obligatory. There are also optional jumps and slides, as well as approach and return walks. These two canyon descents require a minimum of physical fitness and a certain desire to surpass oneself. These are great canyoning trips in a wild, green environment.

Canyoning outdoor activity
First of all, canyoning is an outdoor sporting activity with no need for a boat. It involves walking, swimming and crossing obstacles in different ways, either by jumping, sliding, abseiling. It is therefore essential to know how to swim.
Secondly, the approach, descent and return times are given as a guide only, and may vary according to weather conditions, how often the canyon is used and the level of the group.
Please note that canyoning is not recommended for people who are sensitive to vertigo or have weak backs. So please, don’t force anyone to come. It is OBLIGATORY to inform us of any physical or mental handicap when you make your reservation, just as it is required to inform the guide before your departure in canyon.
