## Full content
## Presentation
The Flumen canyon is a vertical canyon.
It is located in the Jura very close to Saint-Claude. More precisely, in front of the famous "fold" of the Gendarme's Hat. A piece of cliff that gets its name from its geometric similarity to the bicorne hat worn by our gendarmes until 1904. The canyon is very narrow, and it's impossible to see its waterfalls if you don't have your feet in the water while canyoning.

The environment is lush and very wild. This canyon is composed of a multitude of waterfalls that come in quick succession, most of which we will descend by rappel.

There is also a 7-meter jump and a slide. It's a cool canyon to explore in summer during hot weather. 

## Formula 1

## Day schedule
We will meet directly at the canyon starting point.
The instructor will explain how to equip yourself. We will put on neoprene wetsuits, harnesses, helmets, and then we will explain the safety instructions related to canyoning to maximize your enjoyment of the descent.

A first rappel into the canyon, then it quickly becomes narrow, and we tackle the obstacles one after another.

## Level: **Athletic**
Due to its numerous rappels, the Flumen Gorges canyon requires experience in canyoning and ideally having already practiced rappelling. It's a rather vertical and very slippery canyon. There are also very few escape routes, if any, which is why it is intended for an athletic audience.

In this canyon:
10 min approach hike
10 min return walk

For children, the minimum age is set at 14 years.
