How to choose

11 tours across Chambéry's canyons run from 42 € to 80 €, with sessions lasting 3h to 7h. Three intensity tiers cover the full spectrum. Beginners start with Pep's Nature's "Everybody welcome" sessions on the Ternèze and Grenant canyons (50,55 €, 3h). Intermediate paddlers lean toward the Ternèze or Grenant in the Massif des Bauges, flagged "Occasionally sporty" by six different operators (45,55 €, 3h to half-day). For the highest output, the Gorges de Chailles delivers 5.5h to 7h of sustained effort at the "Sporty" level (75,80 €). Pick by time commitment first: short on schedule, go Ternèze for 3h. Ready to commit a full day, the Gorges de Chailles is the only real option.
