Introduction[edit]
Well known canyon amongst non canyoning people as it ends immediately in the city of Montreux. Short and easy, definitely a good option for initiations.
Approach[edit]
There is a path going along the canyon pretty much all the time. Enter at the bridge at 810m above sea level.
Descent[edit]
First part has 4 rappels then another one a bit further down. After this, better go back to the hiking trail and enter again more than 2km further, from the bridge at a height of 535m above sea level. There the canyon gets slightly more interesting, but is also really short.
Exit[edit]
When being under the big Highway bridges, walk up to the path before the river reaches the first buildings.
