Maxi-Mini Descent of the Ardèche 12 km by canoe
The descent in detail
The 12 km canoe descent of the Ardèche is the ideal compromise for those who want a slightly longer course than the 6 km Mini Descent, but don’t want to take on the big 24 km or 30 km day trips.
A few strokes of the paddle are all it takes to cover the distance on calm, peaceful water, with several dike crossings via specially-designed slides, as well as a few rapids, including one of the most legendary, the Charlemagne, which guides you straight under the Pont d’Arc.
* Understanding the departure base
The specific departure base for this descent is located at the Accroche Toi Aux Branches park in Vallon Pont d’Arc (see access map). You must go as a priority to this treetop adventure park where you will find the corresponding pier.
