Benetant Canyon in Savoie
The Canyon du Bénétant, located near La Bâthie in Savoie, is a wild and sporty canyoning route between Albertville and Moûtiers. Set at the foot of the Beaufortain massif, it offers clear water, waterfalls, narrow passages and a real mountain atmosphere.
The descent includes abseils, natural slides and optional jumps, depending on the water level, the group ability and the guide decision. It is a varied canyon with beautiful sequences and a more adventurous feeling than a simple discovery route.
Bénétant is best suited for people in good physical condition who are comfortable in the water. The approach walk is uphill, so this canyon is more adapted to sporty beginners, teenagers and adults looking for stronger sensations.
With Escal’Canyon, the Canyon du Bénétant is a great half-day adventure for anyone looking for a refreshing, technical and memorable canyoning experience in the heart of Savoie.

Highly recommended ;))
Fred, Edyta and Enola (aka Nanou) 😉
Cedric knows how to make us feel confident and safe, in addition to being friendly.
The canyon is magnificent and offers different difficulties.
See you next year 💪🏼
I highly recommend
Came with 2 children (11 and 13 years old). We loved the course (jumps, slides, zip line, waterfalls,...) and the icing on the cake, Cédric is super friendly and very professional!
We highly recommend!
Best wishes
loved canyoning, with its share of jumps, slides and caves. They had a good laugh. And Cedric is very nice and he managed to captivate them.
I recommend 100%
Magical place and above all: Cédric knows how to adapt things so that everyone has a memorable time!
Beautiful sensations...we will come back
We spent an exceptional day with the family alongside Cédric in the canyon of red waters. He is very attentive and adapts perfectly to everyone's level. The kids loved it and so did we. Can't wait for the next vacation to try rock climbing.
Thanks again for your humor and professionalism.
The Corsican team.
Lovley people, so grateful for this day!
