Miraval canyoning in Saint-Lary (Pyrenees)

Join me for a full day at the Miraval canyon, a fun day of swimming and exciting jumps! The Miraval canyon is located near Saint-Lary, in the Spanish Pyrenees. 

In my opinion it is one of the most fun canyon options in the region, due to the many and varied jumps. Plus, the scenery is just stunning!

The Yaga river is located some 20 minutes past the border between France and Spain. Descending from Mont Perdu, the waters are clear and beautifully bluish.

We will start with a 15 minute walk downhill to reach the water. At this point the area is still quite open. The progression is easy, punctuated by several jumps. Then we will get to the first narrow sections: the “estrechos”. With one hand on each wall, we will progress swimming and walking.

As we advance, the walls will rise around us, growing until we find ourselves at the end of a one meter wide corridor, with walls of hundreds of meters. After a break for a small picnic we will continue our descent, around 4 more hours in the water. The second “Estrecho” is even more impressive than the first!

The canyon ends with the pool area, offering jumps up to 8 meters (optional of course). And finally we have to walk about 20 minutes to return to the parking. This is a mainly aquatic canyon, and there will be a lot of swimming. In particular, the narrow sections are extremely beautiful.
