Canyoning Béziers: The Rec Grand canyon!
The canyon du Rec grand is the discovery canyon par excellence. It’s a fun canyon open to children aged 7 and over! It’s ideal for families and friends alike. Just arriving at the parking lot and enjoying the view of the Caroux mountains is a real breath of fresh air. A parking lot is provided by the owner, so please allow 5 euros per car for parking. ( Dry toilets on site and refreshment bar at the end of the activity )
Once you’ve been fitted with your wetsuit, helmet and harness, it’s a 10-minute walk to the start. The start is via two successive slides that will put you right in the mood of the place. The finishes are in refreshingly clear pools! There are several jumps along the way, including a possible 8 m jump. You should therefore allow 3 h 15 of activity from the start of the car to the return by car. A 25-minute walk back under the shade of holm oaks is compulsory on the way back to the car! This canyon is ideal for spring and summer.
Canyoning in the Caroux: The Vialais sports canyon!
For the more sporty among you, the Vialais canyon is the ideal canyon to do in spring until the end of June! This canyon requires a good level of water to be fun. It is therefore open from the age of 12. It’s aimed at people who like to walk first. The approach and return walks take 40 minutes each way, and 50 minutes on the return. So it takes a good 4-5 hours to do this canyon from car to car. The walks are a pure pleasure, through ancient chestnut groves. The arrival at the canyon is quite spectacular, with the sight of crystal-clear water breaking over the “gneiss” .
the canyon du Vialais is considered the Rec grand’s big brother, only sportier. The program includes water abseiling, reach swimming and jumps up to 9 m high for the most intrepid.
