    • Ossau de l'eau is a specialist and professional canyoning company in the Ossau Valley, located in Laruns, Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Xavier Giraudet, a state-certified canyoning instructor, will guide you to the most beautiful canyoning descents in the Ossau Valley at the foot of the Béarn Pyrenees. But that's not all! He also organizes canyoning weekends and trips in Spain, in the Sierra de Guara (Huesca, Alquézar, Rodellar), and also in Ordesa in the Monte Perdido region (Torla, Broto, Ainsa). These are top canyoning destinations in Europe!

      The Ossau Valley boasts a wide variety of canyons, with around 17 in total, some of which are among the most beautiful in the Pyrenees. This is in addition to the easily accessible canyons located just across the Spanish border in the Tena Valley.

      Canyoning is an outdoor sport that takes place in mountain streams. It allows you to discover completely wild and unexpected places while having fun. Rappelling down waterfalls, swimming in turquoise water, jumping (optional) into crystal-clear pools, and sliding down natural water slides—that's canyoning and much more.

      With your children (from 10 years old), young and old, or with friends, go on an immersive canyoning adventure for a half-day or a full day!

      To ensure the descent is a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone, the vigilance and attentiveness of your canyoning instructor will reassure even the most apprehensive. Xavier will carefully adapt the obstacles and share his passion and good humor with you, always prioritizing fun and camaraderie. You will most often be in small groups, and departure times will be adjusted so you can enjoy some peace and quiet in the canyons. He will suggest the least frequented routes whenever possible.

      For optimal thermal comfort, you will be equipped with two-piece neoprene wetsuits, neoprene booties, and gloves (depending on the season). A helmet will be provided for head protection, and a harness will be required for rope obstacles.

      Fill up on emotions and memories!

    We had the opportunity to go canyoning with Xavier. I highly recommend this experience, both for the beautiful setting and the instructor's teaching skills. Xavier guided us throughout the entire route and adapted to each of us. The value for money is excellent. In addition to the experience itself, the photos taken allowed everyone to keep a memory of this magnificent day! In short, I highly recommend it! We'll be back!

    A fantastic afternoon at the Os Lucas canyon. It was my wife's first time canyoning, and for me, a seasoned canyoner, it was a superb discovery of this canyon in Aragon. Xavier is passionate about the mountains, both the geology and formation of canyons, and the sport itself. He's a great teacher and very attentive, listening to everyone's needs. He adapts to the group, allowing us to progress and enjoy several spots in the canyon with stunning scenery. I highly recommend him. We will definitely return to explore other canyons with him, with complete confidence and pleasure.
