Joncas Adventure Park
The Joncas dry canyon is located 35 min from Montpellier and 15 min from Salagou, Gignac or Clermont l’Hérault. It’s in the heart of the Hérault valley, more precisely in the commune of Montpeyroux.
Le Joncas: an adventure, discovery and initiation course!
This place is a rare gem for beginner climbers taking their first steps into the vertical world!
The site is recent, having been equipped in 2014. There are several routes on different sides of the canyon. You can climb here at any time of year, depending on your preferred orientation.
It’s the perfect place for both beginners and advanced climbers. Levels range from 3rd to 8th degree for the more experienced climber.
Naturéo Sport & Aventure offers a 3-hour tour of this geological wonder, divided between adventure courses and introductory climbing.
It’s a fun outing that’s perfect for families, groups or local authorities!

DISCOVERY // INITATION
Description
The adventure course is defined by a via-cordata progression through the dry canyon. You’ll pass through a mini-cave, followed by 10m of abseiling. A 40m-long zip line at a height of 20m is included for an extra thrill. No workshop is compulsory, but we strongly advise you to make the most of your day!
After these aerial crossings, our via-cordata progression takes us up the entire dry canyon, admiring the basins carved out by the ancient passages of water over the last millennia. At the end of the canyon, on the north face, we’ll set up base camp for the second part of the activity: an introduction to rock climbing. You’ll test your climbing skills using only the natural holds offered by the Joncas cliffs. You’ll be roped up with an belayer. This is a two-person activity. After demonstrations of belaying, climbing and rope descent, you’ll be ready to climb as many routes as possible in the area!
The return journey takes 10 minutes, finishing the loop by climbing up the canyon sides.
