Canyoning in the Clue du Riolan, Est\u00e9ron Valley<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Unusual deposits, chaotic blocks and long corridors: the Clue du Riolan offers a true open-air speleological experience. Three kilometers of canyon alternating with swims, jumps and small rappels in the Ni\u00e7ois hinterland.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tBook this canyon\n<\/a>\n\t\t\n<\/section>\n

The route<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Riolan is traversed through a very narrow gorge, between enormous collapsed blocks that must be negotiated, circumvented or crossed. The long aquatic corridors require numerous swims, punctuated by rapids and small rappel sections. Expect 4 to 5 hours in the canyon: an engaging outing, reserved for those in good physical condition, and one of the most breathtaking in the department.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Location and access<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

La Clue du Riolan is located in the Est\u00e9ron valley, near the village of Roquesteron. From Nice: follow the valley of the Var along the RN 6202 until the Charles-Albert bridge, then turn left and continue to Roquesteron via the RD 17. An 8 km shuttle connects the exit with the canyon. Depending on the exit, transportation to the site is organized by FunTrip: the exact pickup point is confirmed at booking.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
