Climbing in the European Grand Canyon! The gorges of the Ardèche offer great routes (several abseils) as well as numerous climbing gardens. You will be able to have fun with it. Between the granite of the Cevennes and the limestone of the surroundings of the hotel, the possibilities are innumerable in Ardeche. Good plan: the walls of the Chassezac gorges, main tributary of the Ardèche, much less popular with tourists. The degree of difficulty of the routes goes from sporty to technical. There is something for everyone, pros and beginners alike. After climbing, the many rivers and idyllic coves invite you to swim and relax.
Hiking
Enchanting trails, some of which start in front of the hotel, take you to the most beautiful destinations in the region. We organize trekking weeks several times a year. Ask us for advice.
Bathing
Cool off in the pool or nearby rivers. The Ardèche is of course very popular among our guests.
Canoeing - kayaking
The Ardèche, famous throughout the world, attracts crowds in the spring. Already in April, as soon as the mercury tickles the summer temperatures, it welcomes kayak lovers. The Ardèche has the well-deserved reputation of being the most beautiful river in Europe. The Pont D’Arc, a geological sensation, and the impressive gorges are fascinating playgrounds for canoeists. In early summer, when the fruit trees are shining in the sun, the tributaries such as the Beaume and the Chassezac are also passable. We offer one-day and half-day canoe tours. Unique of its kind, the 2-day trip through the Ardeche gorges starts from Vallon Pont d’Arc and passes, after 6 km rowing, under the Pont d’Arc, an imposing natural arch of 60 m wide.
Canyoning
Welcome to the Eldorado of canyoning! Evolve between narrow gorges and waterfalls and dare to jump from steep cliffs! Adventure in the heart of nature by following the waterways.
Equitation
The Ardèche is also a paradise for equestrian activities. There are many rides on the program, from an hour-long evening outing to day-long rides. Donkey rides are also available.
Caves
The numerous caves of the Ardèche were formed more than two million years ago. More than a hundred are listed and several of them are open to the public and offer the youngest sensational descents into the earth. This is where the roots of humanity lie. Let your imagination run wild and meet the first humans who lived here 33,000 years ago and created the magnificent cave paintings that are now world famous in the Chauvet cave. The Caverne du Pont d’Arc and the Aven d’Orgnac are also famous worldwide.
