"Fabulous morning canyoning in Angon"
Booked myself and my ten year old son for a morning of canyoning- Monte Medio had come highly recommended by friends locally. The whole experience was great. Daniel, the guide was first class. It was very apparent that his absolute priority was to show his guests a great time in a safe manner, without coming across as overbearing or patronizing, which can often be the case when taking part in an activity with a ten year old. He made sure my son was safe at all times, but allowed him the freedom to really explore and enjoy the activity, which led to a hugely rewarding experience for him. A great experience and one which was great to share!

"Canyoning with Romain"
Our family were staying in Lake Annecy without a car and rang Monté Médio to discuss our options re via ferrata, canyoning etc. They were extremely helpful, with lots of advice on transport options etc. after catching a boat to Talloires and a short walk to Angon we relaxed at the beach next to the base. We did the Angon Canyon Discovery with Romain as our guide - and ended up being the only booking, so had the tour to ourselves! It was our first time canyoning and we all loved it. Romain was engaging and confident and made sure everyone felt safe and enjoyed their experience. It was the highlight of our 3 teenage children’s 3 weeks in France. Thank you Monté Médio and Romain!

"Had a great time"
We (me, my husband and teenage daughter) did the canyoning discovery tour (Angon). All the equipment and clothing was included. The walk up the hill was warm (it was 31 Celsius that afternoon) but well worth it! Vincent, our guide, took the time to explain the techniques (abseil/slides/jumps etc) and it was just awesome to descend in many different was through the canyon. We can highly recommend Monte Medio for canyoning.

    Which canyoning course to choose?

    If you come to do canyoning with children between 6 and 8 years old, opt for the aquatic hike of the Devil's Bridge. As a family with children between 8 and 10 years old, the Frontenex mini canyon is ideal! The canyon of the Angon mailbox is located on the lower part of the Angon canyon and is the ideal formula to get started in Canyoning. Indeed, this course includes everything that canyoning can offer you: jumps, slides, abseiling, short walks and a little swimming! The Devil's Bridge canyon is similar to that of the Angon mailbox but it is a little more aquatic! The Angon Advanced Canyon is one of the most beautiful Canyoning courses in Haute Savoie. It begins first with a fabulous 35-meter abseil along the Angon waterfall. The rest of the descent is a superb succession of walking, swimming, slides, jumps and abseiling. If you are sporty and want thrills, choose the Montmin sports canyon. It is a long and beautiful descent with many jumps and slides. In summary, the Montmin canyon is the most fun and aquatic route.
