Canyoning · Annecy
How to choose
16 tours, 50 € to 109 €, 2h to a full half-day: canyoning near Annecy covers every intensity level. Beginners and families should target the "Everybody welcome" options (Angon with Takamaka or Vesonne with FBI Canyoning) in the 55–69 € range, with durations under 3h. The mid-tier "Occasionally sporty" sessions at 55–69 € run 2.5h to 4h and cover the Angon, Montmin and Fontenex canyons — solid choice if you want rappels and jumps without committing to a full athletic effort. For maximum intensity, the "Sporty" tier tops out with the Montmin descent by MONTE MEDIO (3.5h, 69 €) or the winter Angon run by Takamaka (2h, 69 €). The Expert Canyon de La Mine at 109 € is the ceiling — 4h, technical terrain, reserved for experienced participants. Your decision rule: pick your physical level first, then sort by duration.
