Introduction
Fustugère Canyon | Lozère
In the Borne valley, between the Ardèche and Lozère departments, the Fustugère canyon offers a very enclosed course with many verticals (from 10 to 20 meters) with strings and punctuated by a few jumps. Technical and committed, uncommon despite its aesthetic and technical interest, the Fustugere canyon will not leave you indifferent.
Because of its technical nature, we limit the number of people to 8 per monitor, in order to avoid expectations at the top of the waterfall and to be able to do a real learning of the techniques of canyoning downhill.
