Looking for some adrenalin and fresh air? Or do you want to try out a new activity in Morzine? Come and try your hand at canyoning down our beautiful Nyon waterfall in Morzine. It’s an activity you can enjoy with family or friends.
You’re guaranteed a thrill as you abseil down the gorge, slide down the natural slides formed by the tumultuous waters or jump from the top of the rocks for the more adventurous. The activity takes place in the midst of a natural environment and magnificent landscapes that are unique to our beautiful region. Often compared to the Ardèche or the Verdon, you’ll be won over by the wild, rocky, cool mountain setting.
It’s an ideal summer activity between two hikes in hot weather, with a great dose of adrenalin and thrills!

Is canyoning dangerous?
Don’t worry, this activity has been available to everyone in Morzine for over 10 years. There’s no need to have any particular climbing skills. A dedicated guide will explain all the secrets of this discipline before the group leaves. He will supervise you and give you instructions to follow throughout the descent. You’ll learn rope techniques, abseil down natural slides and make jumps of varying heights.
How should I dress for canyoning? What footwear should I use?
As far as clothing is concerned, the most appropriate for this type of activity is a pair of water shoes or shoes that are safe with a good sole, as you’ll be walking on rocks. You’ll also need to bring your swimming costume, as a wetsuit is usually provided. You’ll also need a helmet and a harness for safe abseiling.
The meeting point is at the foot of the canyon, the guide will take you to the starting point and you will finish at the meeting point. A not-to-be-missed experience for anyone staying in Morzine this summer! Want to try something different? Our Morzine residents offer you the chance to go rafting with your family or friends.
After this expedition, if you need to cool off for longer, you’ll find the lakes around Morzine or our swimming pool next to the Palais des Sports in Morzine. Don’t hesitate to consult our Summer Activities pages to plan your stay.
