Located in the Vercors mountains of Isère, the Ecouges Canyon is one of the most iconic vertical routes in France.
It is also the only expert canyon in our selection located outside Haute-Savoie, a true exception thanks to its unique character: powerful waterfalls, deep gorges and highly technical rope work.
The upper section of Ecouges offers full immersion into a spectacular mineral gorge.
Here, commitment is constant: long vertical abseils, water-flow passages and an impressive, echoing atmosphere.
A route reserved for experienced canyoners looking to take on a technical and demanding benchmark.
A powerful and technical canyon
The Ecouges Canyon stands out for its steep verticality and its majestic, enclosed environment.
Waterfalls follow one another inside a deep limestone corridor shaped over thousands of years.
The route alternates waterfall abseils, technical sections, flow management and airy passages in a spectacular setting.
A strong, immersive experience designed for those who love advanced canyoning.
