Bes-Courmes
verified
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
Courmes, Alpes-Maritimes
A short, steep limestone clue: just 250 meters of canyon but 160 meters of drop, anchored by a 65 meter rappel. Seven rappels total, roughly two and a half hours, June through October.
The optional 10 km shuttle can be skipped; most of the elevation loss happens in that single 65 meter rap, making this a compact, vertical outing rather than a long walk.
