CanyoniCimes runs 4 canyoning options out of La Plagne-Tarentaise, from 55 € to 75 €, covering half-days to full days. Start with the Eau Rousse canyon if you're new to the sport: 4h, 55 €, flagged as "Occasionally sporty", it's the lowest-intensity entry point. The Bénétant canyon steps it up to a Sporty level in 5h for 65 €. For maximum commitment, the Ecot and Montmin canyons both run a full day at 75 € with a Sporty rating. Your decision comes down to one question: how much time and effort do you have? Pick Eau Rousse for a first taste, Bénétant to push harder without a full-day commitment, or either full-day option if you want the canyon to genuinely test you.
