Moulin de Roubion

verified Ungraded Unknown flood risk Roubion, Alpes-Maritimes

Named for the old mill (moulin) on this stretch of the Roubion, a short and steep run: nine rappels, longest 60m, packed into 350 meters, 200 meters of descent, June through September.

The 60 meter rappel accounts for most of the descent; a 3 km shuttle is listed. Times run tight and consistent, roughly 3 to 3.5 hours, which reads as a reliable half day rather than an epic.
