Committing rappel in the Oules de Freissinières, high-flow Briançonnais canyon

Freissinières · Hautes-Alpes (05)

Canyoning at the Oules de Freissinières

The Oules de Freissinières are a reference for committing canyoning in the Hautes-Alpes. Carved in the granite of the Briançonnais, these high-flow gorges offer an intense, technical playground for experienced canyoners seeking authenticity.

Located within the Écrins National Park, the Oules de Freissinières are part of the mythical descents of French canyoning. The route combines narrow passages, pressure rappels and technical progression in water of rare purity. This trip falls under my Exception package: small team, significant physical and mental commitment. As a high-flow canyon specialist, I pick the ideal window based on current hydrology. Expect a half-day of approach and shuttle from Jausiers or Barcelonnette.
