Canyon of Riolan in the Estéron valley Cote d'azur Nice

Riolan a great canyoning classic on the Cote d’Azur

With its outstanding size, Riolan is a reference on the French Riviera. This canyon in the mountain near the Cote d’azur is 1h15 / 1h30 drive from Nice or Cannes.

A real canyoning adventure in a very aquatic and mineral atmosphere !

Waters of Riolan sculpted a majestic landscape characterized by very narrow and sometimes subterranean passages surrounded by high cliffs often more than 300 meters high…  It is a very complete course with rappeling , slides, 10 meters jumps and a long aquatic part where it will be necessary to swim.

Accessible even to beginners because there is no big difficulty, it is however necessary to be sporty and comfortable in the water.
