Guided tours in Ardeche canyoning & outdoor sports: At the heart of the Besorgues and the most beautiful canyons in the Ardeche. It took three years of work to create the first permanent base entirely dedicated to canyoning. The design of the Base makes it ideal for group visits (family, friends, students, training courses). On request, we can put you in touch with a chef to organize a carefully prepared menu to meet your own wishes In July and August, you can also rely on our snack bar: a different type of salad served every lunchtime as well as grilled meats and chips etc. available from Monday to Saturday. Finally, a picnic area with barbecue is also available to you free-of-charge. The base is located at the entrance to the Canyon de la Besorgues 03 (Aerocanyoning + Mini-Descent Canyoning) at a distance of 6 km from Besorgues 01 (Discovery Canyoning and Night Canyoning) and 18 km from the Pas de Fer (Adventure Canyoning). Once you are at the Base, we advise you to visit Pissarelle (Besorgues 02) and the village of Antraigues, close to Vals les Bains and Aubenas. Handicapped people are welcome. However, please be aware that unlike the snack bar, picnic and WC terraces, access to the car park and zipline arrival point is difficult for people in wheelchairs.

Les Gorges du Fier is definitely worth a visit - it's beautiful to walk through. We were there towards the end of August and went early in the morning which I would recommend to avoid the heat of the day. It's also better to go earlier to avoid the crowds, whilst not huge, there are parts of the walk where it's single person due to rocks poking out onto the walkway. As far as getting there, we organised a taxi from the tourist centre in Annecy which cost about 30 euros - not cheap, but the public transport is complicated to get there otherwise. And the restrooms are dodgy, to say the least. But aside from that, totally worth the visit, I'm so glad we did it!!

We've joined organized road tour along the Ardeche river and admired breathtaking views, clear air, canyon and cliffs, wild forest. Natural arc made by water in limestone is very impressive!
