Summary:
A water-rich alpine abseiling canyon with magnificent scenery
Access:
Entraigues, park at the bridge at the end of the village.
Approach (1 h 45):
Walk back to find the waymarked forest road & trails toward Le Besset Dessus & Vallon. There is a shorter, direct trail on OS but it is in disuse.
Tour (3 h):
Start by descending the stream for about 400 metres to the first abseil point. This is followed by about 20 abseils, some of which are quite challenging (though safe when there is more water), until you reach the Arvette valley.
Return (25 min):
