An adventure through water and rock

Canyoning is an exhilarating outdoor activity that blends hiking, climbing, and swimming along mountain streams nestled between high rocky walls. Participants tackle natural obstacles — like waterfalls, rock chutes, and deep pools — using diving suits, helmets, harnesses, and under the guidance of expert mountain professionals.

While no specific training is required, relying on certified guides ensures safety and helps choose the best route for your level while checking the practicability of the itineraries.

In the Aosta Valley, top canyoning spots include:

  • The Fer stream, in Donnas, presents a long and adventurous canyon with crystal clear water and gigantic pools.
  • In Fontainemore, the Pacoulla torrent presents a beautiful gorge with an uninterrupted succession of descents into deep basins surrounded by high rock walls. The tobogan of about 12 meters at the halfway point is spectacular and has made this short canyon famous. Also in Fontainemore, the Bouro torrent presents a continuous series of descents, tobogans and dives until the end of its canyon of approximately 1.5 km.
  • In Champdepraz, the final stretch of the Chalamy stream is ideal for canyoning due to its numerous waterfalls, smooth rock walls and clear pools.
