How to choose

5 canyoning tours in Breil-sur-Roya, all run by Mat & Eau / Nice Rafting, priced between 65 € and 80 €. Split across three intensity levels: beginner-friendly (Audin stream, 65 €, half day), intermediate (La Bollène, 70 €, half day), and full-on sporty (Morghé Maglia, Carleva, Barbaira, 70,80 €, 5h to full day). If you've never canyoned before, start with the Audin stream , no prior fitness required. Step up to Carleva or Barbaira if you want a full-day commitment with sustained physical effort across rocky gorges and technical sections. Budget is almost a non-factor here: the 15 € gap between cheapest and most intense is the smallest variable. Duration is your real decision criterion.
