Wildlife
History
The valley has a pastoral history tied to seasonal transhumance; old shepherd tracks and stone refuges still mark movement through the high Pyrenees.
Conservation
Canyoning can stress stream habitats — stick to established routes, avoid disturbing pool bottoms, and carry out all litter to protect sensitive aquatic invertebrates.
Reserve your spot on the Canyoning trip in the Marc with Dutch or English guide today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Use sticky-soled canyon shoes
Special canyoning shoes or snug approach shoes reduce slips on wet limestone and are often provided but confirm sizing in advance.
Bring a thin base layer
Wear a quick-dry thermal or thin fleece under the wetsuit for cold water exposures, especially in spring or early summer.
Watch the weather and flows
High rain upstream raises current quickly — follow guide advice and reschedule if the guide cancels for safety.
Know your limits on jumps
Jumps are optional; assess depth and your comfort with the guide before committing to any plunge.
Neoprene socks
Provide insulation and protect feet inside wetsuit in cold spring water.
