Kathaayatraa Canyoning

Are you ready to discover this hidden world of the canyons of the Pyrenees, of the Ossau valley (or of the world) where the mineral is one with the aquatic ?

Pleasure... Chills... Sensations... Adrenaline. Jumps, slides, swimming and abseiling will be part of the canyoning... !

So lace up your sneakers, close the wetsuit, adjust the helmet, choose the descent that suits you and become... canyoniste !

Canyon attitude
It is first of all the pleasure of doing a physical and technical activity in the great outdoors. To make memories with friends or family, to share emotions and sensations. But it's also about getting to know the environment better, to better respect and appreciate it. Without any notion of competition, if not facing yourself. All in a good mood, friendliness, humility and respect...

Quality of services
To allow you to make the most of these moments I limit the number of participants in each outing. I offer new equipment or in excellent condition, both for your safety and for your comfort. Our greatest satisfaction, your smile and seeing you come back to discover a new canyon together...

Adapted routes
I suggest the wildest and least frequented routes possible. Vertical or aquatic, they are offered on levels of difficulty from green to black, from the simplest to the most complicated. Sports educator, it's your health that matters to me. Canyoning instructor, it is your satisfaction and your desire to pursue that are my objectives.

WINTER CANYONING :
The canyons are found in the Atlantic Pyrenees, near Pau. The privileged canyons are those of medium mountain (valley of Ossau, valley of Valentin, Basque Country).

This activity is derived from "ice canyoning" developed by the French Federation of Speleology, winter canyoning allows you to practice sport in the middle of winter in the canyons traveled in summer. Lionel is also one of the referents of the activity with the Federation.

Descent conditions :
The descent is done with dry suits and under suits which have been developed with the partner, Vade Retro. This material, which is totally different from summer suits, protects you from the cold and makes the most of the activity by reducing mobility to a minimum.

Course of the activity :
• You find Lionel at the Laruns swimming pool and you head towards the site of the canyon chosen according to the snow and weather conditions.
• Once there, you equip yourself with thermal fleece coveralls and fully waterproof coveralls, neoprene socks, gloves, a hood and canyon shoes that will allow you to progress dry in the canyons.
• At the end of a short approach walk and a safety and technical briefing you set off to attack the canyon !
• The program includes the same activities as in summer, typical of canyoning : jumps, slides and abseiling.

Beyond the aesthetic aspect of the practice of the winter canyon, you will really be able to work on the technique and push your limits, whatever your level. Guaranteed sensations !
