Descent of the Ardèche:“The sportive” one from Lanas to the entry of the Cirque de Gens – 12 km (3h00 – 4h00)

A sportive day trip to fully enjoy the variety of the descent!

A little bit longer then the first trip, maybe for a more sportive and enduring target group, but still for rookies too that have a good physical condition.

The departure is in the morning to give you time to rest and observe the fauna and flora, or swim in the river.

This trip can be for the whole day if you take the picnic break.

Advice of the Team

Enjoy and take the whole day.

Canoe trip + time to relax at the Nautic Base (beach, activities and pools) = Great Memories!

The trip

We take you to the little village of Lanas by 4×4 (about 20 min driving from the beach) through the vineyards and off roads.
This is where your adventure starts!

After a few instructions and advices in your language, you are free to start the trip.
The average time for the descent is 3-4hrs, but it all depends on your rythm.

You are in the driving seat since your arrival is at the beach of Isla Cool Douce.

On this trip you will pass a tenfold of little playful rapids.

To position yourself, you’ll pass 3 bridges: the first one is Lanas, the second one is the medieval village Balazuc (classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France) and the third one is Pradons/Chauzon, just before arriving at your destination.

The magical moment

More playful rapids: emotions garanteed and a little bit of adrenaline!
