General information
Located in the nearby Swiss Valais region, the Morge Canyon is a hidden gem for canyoning enthusiasts. Deeply carved in places, it winds its way between smooth limestone wallss, offering a descent in a wild, scenic, and intimate setting. Striking for its natural beauty, the canyon has a strong atmosphere without ever feeling intimidating — making it a great adventure for those with some prior canyoning experience.
The route is particularly varied, featuring around twenty pools and a fun mix of jumps (up to 5 m), natural slides, and abseils up to 15 m. A complete and playful experience, ideal for discovering an exceptional alpine canyon. This outing complements our intermediate canyon offer. It's designed for those who have already tried canyoning or want to take on a more demanding full-day adventure.
📍 Departure from the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix’s whitewater base, right in the town centre — with hot showers and changing rooms available.
🚐 Transfers to the canyon are included in the group option: just enjoy the ride — we’ll take care of the rest!
