Balme Canyon – A Family Canyoning Classic in Haute-Savoie

Located in Magland, between Geneva, Chamonix and Megève, the Balme canyon is a must-see spot to discover canyoning in Haute-Savoie.
Easy to access and naturally carved by water, it offers a series of natural slides, abseils of up to 25 meters, and optional jumps — perfect for a first experience with family or friends.

This canyon is known for its playful beauty and friendly atmosphere: ideal for a first try at the activity from age 12.

It is made up of two sections: a first part with three abseils, including one of 25 meters, and a second part, which is the family canyon with its slides.


A Fun and Refreshing Adventure

The Balme Canyon features a series of playful passages shaped by the flow of the river.
Children enjoy sliding through natural pools, while adults appreciate the peaceful and refreshing atmosphere.
Guided by a certified instructor, you’ll safely enjoy every moment of the descent.
