verified Ungraded Unknown flood risk Le Lauzet-Ubaye, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

A 1200m limestone descent near Le Lauzet-Ubaye built around one 40m rappel, about 240m of vertical relief in roughly 3 hours.

Falls under the department's general regime rather than any canyon specific rule: open 1 May to 30 November, mornings until 18h, no fee or registration. It is not on the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence prohibited or restricted entry list, so nothing beyond that seasonal window applies.
