A limestone slot on the Esteron with five rappels, longest 15m, packed into 1400 meters and about 80 meters of drop. The aquatic rating runs high, so this is a swimming canyon more than a wading one, best run May through October.

The 21 km shuttle is optional, not mandatory: most parties either walk back to the car or arrange the drive. Ropewiki's own regulation section for Aiglun is blank, so treat the permit note on this record as unresolved rather than as evidence either way.
