Malvaux Canyon

Summary

The most fun and playful canyon in the Jura! In this canyon, we don't use ropes. We mainly find jumps up to 8m, slides, and a siphon passage. All obstacles can be bypassed!

Presentation

The Malvaux gorge canyon is located in the village of Foncine-le-Bas. It is crossed by the Saine River, which is a tributary of the Ain.

This canyon is ideal for discovering canyoning with family or even for more athletic people who want to have fun with friends.

The Malvaux canyon is a wide canyon that allows us to practice with little or a lot of water. This offers us many possibilities for overcoming obstacles. It consists mainly of jumps of all heights, all of which can be bypassed. There are also slides, swimming, a beautiful waterfall, beautiful pools, and a very aquatic siphon passage. All this with the simplest approach and return hike.

It's clearly the most fun and playful canyon in the Jura!
