WaterflowIntroduction
Nice little canyon, good for beginners, starts with low water level and very easy abseils, and gets more and more technical, especially when the water from the Sionne joins in (about 2/3 of the final flow rate). Right now (07.2022) anchors are not in very good shape (one or two are missing, so you have to improvise on small trees), and a lot of mud is in the canyon.
Approach
Using the official hiking paths to the pont du diable. It is possible to abseil from the bridge, it should be around 40m.
Descent
Some open waterfalls to start off, before it gets narrow for the first time, still with low water level. Then joins the water from la Sionne, and another narrow section where one anchor point is not easy to reach (about 2.5m high).
Exit
Just after the flooding protection, there is a path going up to the parking.
