Canyoning · Gorges du Tarn
How to choose
4 canyoning tours in the Gorges du Tarn, from 42 € to 60 €, all running half-day sessions. Two distinct intensity levels cover the full spectrum. On the mellow end, the aquatic hike in the Pas de Soucy (physical level: occasionally sporty) suits anyone looking for a first contact with moving water, with Millau Activites Nature pricing in at 42 € and B&ABA Sport Nature at 47 €. Step up to the sporty tier with the Canyon of Tapoul or the Sources du Tarn canyon, both at 60 € through the Bureau des Moniteurs de Sainte Enimie. The Sources du Tarn option is explicitly open to all levels, making it the best crossover pick. Budget and comfort with some effort: choose the 42 € aquatic hike. Ready to push harder: go straight to the Tapoul canyon.
