Roujanel Canyon

In order to guarantee maximum comfort during your outing, it is important to come equipped adequately. For that, you must bring:

• A swimsuit. Preferably clamped to the body in order to avoid creases in the combination, which may be uncomfortable during the descent. Please note that the access and return steps are made in swimsuit. For the most bashful of us, you can come with small shorts that you will put in the bag or into the can.
• Closed shoes that can hold the foot (like sneakers or hiking shoes). We advise not to come with water (or canoe) shoes because usualy they are not very solid and they do not hold the foot. As one feels always more comfortable in his/her own sneakers, we do not provide shoes for the canyon.
• A plastic water bottle or a strong water bottle of at least one ½ liter for two people. Even if the canyon is practiced in water, it is necessary to drink !
• A lanyard for the eyeglasses (sunglasses are useless in the canyon).
• Energy bars, to avoid small hungers.
• A SOLID picnic! Avoid tomatoes, peaches, yoghurt, … The cans carrying meals are often thrown from the waterfalls and fragile things may not appreciate / survive.
  
• Avoid sunscreen. It is useless in the canyon because we wear an integral combination, and sunscreen pollutes the water of the river.
• Camera. If you bring your own camera, you are solely responsible for it. We can not be held responsible for any loss or break.

Your instructor will provide you with all the equipment required for the good practice of canyoning. This is why you will be equipped with:

• A harness with a double lanyard and a protective layer for the buttocks to allow you to move safely and slip down the slides.
• A 2 pieces neoprene suit. 5 mm thick, it will protect you from the cold, but also from minor complaints during your movements in the rocks.
• A helmet to prevent bumps in case of involuntary slidings.
• Neoprene socks. To keep your feet warm.
• A waterproof can and a canyon bag, to carry your picnic and your water.
