Rappel canyon in red rock, at the exit 3 verticals down into the canyon of Daluis.

July - September

West

11.00km²

Summary: machine translated ➜

Rappel canyon in red rock, at the exit 3 verticals down into the canyon of Daluis.

Access: machine translated ➜

On the N 202 from Nice north in the direction of Digne up the valley of the Var, past Puget-Theniers to the Pont de Guidan (59 km from Nice, 13 km from Puget-Theniers), where it turns right and on the D 2202 over the Gorges de Daluis winding along. After about 15km, the D 88 branches off to the left, up to Villeplan. Beyond the Var you can see the final waterfalls of the Clue d'Amen.\nPark one vehicle here.\nWith the other on the D 2202, continue 4 km to Pont des Roberts. Here park the second vehicle (altitude 770 m above sea level, marking "111").

Approach (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

Follow the trail ("Sentier Amen") that goes up the slope in a southerly direction, passing the entry to Vallon de Tireboeuf. On panoramic paths you go up above the canyon of Daluis, passing the hamlet of Bancheron. At marker "112", do not go left up to the summit of the Amen, but stay on the previous path and take marker "115" to reach the bridge at 1060 m above sea level. Here is the entry.

Tour (5 h): machine translated ➜

The canyon is particularly attractive because of the final waterfalls and the narrow section in front of them, but is also worthwhile as a "complete package". The alternative is to access the canyon from the parking lot of the first vehicle down to the Var and then up the scree slope to the saddle on the other side in order to walk only the attractive final section - cascades finales (https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon/2480). You can also get off at this saddle before the final section if you walk the entire canyon (signpost). The red rock is very smooth in the water area. The siphon in the narrow section at the exit of the canyon can be avoided by overclimbing, but can also be dived through without any problems.

Return (20 min): machine translated ➜

After the final waterfalls, cross the Var and climb steeply in the cirque beyond to the road.

Hydrology: machine translated ➜

During thunderstorms there is a risk of rapidly rising water. Because of the possible crossing of the Var, also check its water level if you do not want to swim through the lower part of the gorge.
