Description

Challenge yourself with this guided canyoning adventure, in which you will explore the longest canyon in Europe over the course of 2 adrenaline filled days!

Bendola Canyon, located in Southern France near the border with Italy, is the longest canyon in Europe, boasting 15km of length and 1,500 meters of vertical drop. It is a setting so grand and awe-inspiring that you cannot help but be impressed by the scale and beauty of the landscape. Plus, these incredible dimensions make for some of the best canyoning conditions in Europe.

The route is spectacular, yet tough. Your endurance will be tested as you are guided through 35 rappels, with little or no water. Thus, for this program, solid abseiling technique and a high level of physical fitness are required. Strong swimming skills are also mandatory, and there are opportunities for swimming along the way. After a full day of adventure, we will spend a tranquil night sleeping under the stars, as we bivouac in the wilderness during this trip.

On Day 1 of this program, we will depart at 5am from the village of Breil sur Roya. The village is accessible by train or flight from Nice, and, upon request, we are happy to help you arrange accommodation the night before the trip. Transportation will be provided between the village and the entry and point of the canyon, but is not included back to the village at the end of the trip. Rental canyoneering equipment is included, as are breakfast, picnics, and dinner while we are in the canyoning but drinks are not included. Participants should bring their own sleeping bag and blanket for the night spent in a bivouac.

Book this trip now and test yourself by canyoning in Europe’s longest canyon! These two days truly be a chance to enjoy the wonders of nature and the excitement of outdoor exploration in a stunning setting.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
