Canyoning in Maglia Valley, Roya Valley

The Maglia is the great classic of canyoning in the Alpes-Maritimes: jumps, rappelling and swims are combined in clear water pools, with a steady flow throughout the summer. And the passage through the cave is worth the trip in itself.

The route

If the Maglia has become the benchmark for the department, it is thanks to its balance: you jump in, you descend rappel and you swim all along the 2 kilometers of the course, without any time wasted. Its water flow remains constant even in the heart of summer, when other canyons dry up. The highlight: the spectacular passage through the cave, which gives this descent its unique character. Approximate time in the canyon: about 4 hours.
