"Canyons for Families with CHILDREN"

For families with children aged 5–6. This introductory canyoning day requires a low level of physical effort and no previous experience. Children should be able to swim, or at least feel comfortable in the water.

The day runs from 10:00 to 16:00, with small abseils, jumps and natural slides in clear water. The pace is adapted to the youngest participants, with several stops to eat, swim and enjoy the canyon as a family, accompanied by a guide.

Equipment needed

• Comfortable sports clothing for the mountain walk to the canyon entrance.
• A bag to leave in the car with spare clothes in case yours get wet, a water bottle and food.
• Footwear is important: lace-up shoes with rubber soles and good ankle support, such as canyoning shoes, sports shoes or hiking shoes. Bring a spare pair to change into when you return to the car.
• Swimwear, towel and warm, dry clothes for after the canyon.
• If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring a suitable way to prevent losing them during the activity.

Outline schedule

Meet at 10:00 at the PirineoSur office, Calle Antonio Beltrán 1, ground floor, Jaca, Huesca. If you need a different meeting point, ask when booking whether this is possible.

After collecting the equipment, we drive in participants’ own vehicles to the canyon access point. There we put on wetsuits, helmets and harnesses, then walk to the canyon entrance. Your guide explains the safety procedures and movement techniques before the descent. The activity ends when we return to the vehicles.

Local guides and small groups

Our local guides know the terrain and current conditions. Patience, attentive listening and enthusiasm for the mountains are central to the way we work. Small groups allow personal guidance and the chance to meet people who share your interests.

We teach current techniques and offer advice during and after the activity on equipment, suitable outings, further courses and related events. In your free time, enjoy Jaca’s shops, sightseeing and tapas.

Departures are guaranteed every day in summer. If bad weather prevents us from going into the mountains, that day is not charged.
