Canyoning in the Pyrenees

Activities

Canyons & Gorges

In this area of the Pyrenees canyons and gorges are formed thanks to the temperate climate and limestone geology. Limestone is a permeable rock that allows water to infiltrate creating spectacular landscapes by water erosion. The famous Kakuetta and Holzarté gorges are good examples.

Fountains Of Escot

Fountains Of Escot is an ideal base for canyoning. To the East we have the Auloret stream (from the Roumendares peak) and to the West the Isson stream (from the «Trône du Roi» peak). These two streams form spectacular landscapes and cascades on the way down. See the «Property plan» for the location of the canyoning streams.

There are many canyoning places in our Aspe valley and the neighbouring valleys. If you would like some professional guidance or tuition there is plenty of local help. You can book from half a day to a week long course or just rent the appropriate equipment.

Gorges de Kakuetta

Pass through mysterious trails, beautiful overhanging rocks, cliff sides and cavern tunnels. At the end of this magical walk, cross over to behold a mystical waterfall, emerald green and pure...a refreshing experience. The nearby village of Larrau offers another way to the discover the gorges, a bit more daring, try the wooden bridge suspended a 150m above the river bed!
