Well who doesn't like jumping into pools of water in the summer? Just add cliffs and you have canyoning. Top silliness! :D
This vid gives a taste of canyoning / canyoneering in the Gorges du Verdon...
Summer in the Mountains - Canyoning

looks fun
Did "hydrospeed" somewhere near Bourg St Maurice a couple of times way back when. A little tamer than canyoning, usually with a bit more water and small floats/boards. Great fun; but helmets very much required... apres activities consist mainly of comparing bruises! :lol:
I would think if she's a sensible, relatively cool-headed 13 then she'll be absolutely fine. The French allow surprisingly (to us over-cautious Brits) young children into those "go ape" type parks, but see what the local rules / advice say.

Has anyone done this? We were looking at Evolution 2 as a potential outfit but no contact made as yet.
We were also looking into via ferrata but I think our youngest will be too young at 13 and a half (although she seems to think she is 15.....like her sister!)

Just checked our annual insurance policy and, of course, canyoning not on the list of sports that are covered!
Got a quick quote from a sports insurance specialist. £211 for the 4 of us!
Might not be canyoning after all. We'll have to put up with skiing every morning instead......
