CANYONING ADVENTURE
EXPEDITION

On this mind altering trip, we aim to immerse you in the world of canyoning,
combined with the beauty and tranquility of the French Pyrenees.

Ariege and the surrounding area is a mecca for canyoning and has some of
the most iconic canyons in the south of France. The climate during the
summer months is very pleasant. This offers a fantastic environment for
canyoning.

Ariege is based just over an hours' drive from Toulouse or Carcassonne
airports and right in the middle of canyoning country. We will be based at
an ICOpro training centre in the heart of the mountains. All equipment will
be provided and from here we have access to many canyons and cave
systems.

The accommodation at Gitamiglos is a beautiful, comfortable chalet which
offers you full board, breakfast, lunch and evening meal this includes local
wine and mountain cheese. So after an exhilarating day in the canyons you
can immerse yourself into the French culture and local cuisine.
