Les Cascades d’Orgon
Canyoning in the Cévennes at Cascades d’Orgon surprises with its beauty and wildness. We enter a micro-world, far from everything and close to ourselves. It’s a canyon intermediate/athletic, requiring concentration for the abseils and stamina for the 4-hour route.
Les Cascades d’Orgon: natural wilderness!
The meeting point is the parking lot of the Intermarché d’Avèze in Le Vigan, where you can do your last shopping for your picnic. A further 15min by car will take you to the starting point of the activity.
Gear up in the cars. You’ll each be equipped with a neoprene wetsuit, a harness with a descender, a protective helmet and a waterproof bag and canister for 2-3 people.
Before arriving at the marvellous Canyon des cascades d’Orgon, a 40-minute approach walk takes place in the shade of the forest.

Description
The start is in a suspended basin, spilling into the canyon’s first abseil. After a safety briefing explaining the various technical difficulties of the outing, you can enjoy a 4 m jump. We then get down to the nitty-gritty, with the first 12 m abseil. This is followed by a river walk and another splendid 15 m abseil. After a short walk, we arrive at the highlight of the show, the famous ejector slide which propels us 4 m into a large, deep basin. Then it’s time for a picnic break to regain our strength.
The ride through this fairytale world continues with a river walk before arriving at a superb jump of 6, 7 or 8 m for the most daring. This technical jump is not compulsory, but requires precision. The canyon ends quietly with a more accessible jump and a watery abseil with a little surprise!
