Vernet-les-Bains, Pyrenees-Orientales
Three kilometers and 800 meters of descent below Vernet-les-Bains, five to seven hours in the canyon plus another two and a half to three hours just to reach the start. The crux, known locally as the Forat del Mort (Hole of the Dead), is two rappels off an inclined slab into a roughly 45 meter drop.
Escapes exist along the way but trip notes call them consistently long and difficult, so this isn't one to start without reserve daylight. Water runs year round and hardest during snowmelt and after rain; a full wetsuit and a real fitness baseline are assumed.
