Both tours run with Valrafting France on rivers near Courchevel, so the choice comes down to intensity and time. The Eau Rousse canyon (70 €, 3h) is the sharper, faster pick: a focused descent that keeps the adrenaline concentrated. The Pussy Canyon (75 €, 3.5h to 5h) costs 5 € more and adds up to 2 extra hours on the water, meaning more rappels, more technical sections and a longer exposure to cold mountain water. Both are rated "Occasionally sporty" and run in German, English and French. If you want a hard intro to Les Trois Vallées canyons, start with Eau Rousse. If you're ready to commit half a day and push further, the Pussy Canyon delivers more for the extra 5 €.
