Frequently asked questions

How intense is the Richiusa Canyon experience?
The physical level is rated occasionally sporty, meaning you'll hit demanding sections without it being a full athletic workout. Expect water jumps, rappels and swift current passages that spike the adrenaline, with calmer stretches in between.
What is the most intense moment of the canyon?
Rappelling down the waterfall sections of the Richiusa Canyon is consistently flagged by participants as the sharpest rush of the session. The combination of cold Corsican water and vertical descent is where the 5/5 rating earns its keep.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A degree of comfort with exposure helps, but the occasionally sporty level means the vertical sections are manageable for most people without prior canyoning experience. Your guide from Canyon Corse handles safety briefings on-site.
When is the best time to do canyoning near Ajaccio?
The season runs from May through September. July and August offer the warmest water temperatures in the Corsican canyons, which makes the jumps and swims significantly more enjoyable.
