Slide, rappel and jump through Angon canyon on the eastern shore of Lake Annecy. This family-friendly, guided course offers natural slides, deep basins and 1.5 hours of aquatic descent suitable for beginners (ages 8+).
The canyon narrows as the guide leads the group off a sun-warmed path; water threads through limestone and then dares you into its clear basins. For 1½ hours you move down the Angon canyon — rappels over small cascades, optional jumps into deep bowls, and a natural toboggan that spits you into emerald pools overlooked by the craggy Prealps.

The canyon narrows as the guide leads the group off a sun-warmed path; water threads through limestone and then dares you into its clear basins. For 1½ hours you move down the Angon canyon — rappels over small cascades, optional jumps into deep bowls, and a natural toboggan that spits you into emerald pools overlooked by the craggy Prealps.
Angon sits on the eastern shore of Lake Annecy, a lake carved by glaciers and framed by uplifted limestone and marl. The creek that formed this course has cut smooth steps and plunge pools over millennia; local hamlets like Talloires-Montmin carry the Savoyard heritage of alpine farming and lakeside boating that shaped the shoreline villages.
Expect a social, family-friendly route: accessible from about age eight, run in groups up to ten, and guided from an approach walk to the canyon rim through mixed forest. The outfitter supplies neoprene wetsuits and socks; photos from the exit are often available for download. Water is cold in shoulder seasons, flows can be higher in spring, and guides manage all technical rope work so no prior canyoning experience is required.
Practical guidance: arrive with sturdy water shoes and a swimsuit, check weight/height info when booking, and disclose medical issues—this course is not suitable for pregnant travelers or anyone with serious back or heart conditions. Start mid-morning to mid-afternoon for the warmest water and clearest light for photos. Hydrate, secure small items in a dry bag, and be prepared for a mix of light hiking, short rappels, and playful jumps — the canyon rewards steady footing and a willingness to trust the guide.
