The history of Chamonix and Les Houches is deeply rooted in the spectacular alpine landscape of the French Alps. The area has been inhabited for centuries, but it was in the 18th century that Chamonix began to attract attention as a tourist destination. In 1741, scientists travelled to the valley to measure Mont Blanc, the highest point in the Alps. This expedition marked the beginning of interest in the mountains and attracted the first mountaineers. In 1760, the first documented ascent of Mont Blanc was made by Jacques Balmat and Dr Michel-Gabriel Paccard.

A canyoning trip offers an immersive adventure in the heart of nature, punctuated by a series of exciting and exhilarating activities. It all begins with a safety briefing, during which an experienced guide explains the basic techniques, safety instructions and equipment to be used. Once equipped, participants set off to explore the canyon, abseiling down waterfalls, sliding down natural slides and jumping into natural pools. Each obstacle offers its own challenge, and participants will have to show their courage and coordination to overcome the most difficult passages.
