Introduction

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

There is a path going along the canyon pretty much all the time. Enter at the bridge at 810m above sea level.

Descent

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.

Nice little jump at the very end of the canyon

Exit

When being under the big Highway bridges, walk up to the path before the river reaches the first buildings.
