Canyoning in Corsica at Bocognano near Ajaccio

Sport Nature since 1990

Pioneers in the development of canyoning in Corsica and operating the Richiusa canyon since 1990, Cors'Aventure aims to make Corsica's exceptional natural environment the springboard for your sporting activities.

An adventure that has lasted for more than 30 years, rewarded by being voted Adventure tour company of the year 2018 in Corsica by Travel & Hospitality Awards.

Professional instructors at your service

A combination of sport and discovery, you'll be accompanied by professional, state-qualified instructors throughout your expedition. Cors'Aventure also has a fleet of minibuses and a public transport licence for trips such as supervised roaming holidays.

Canyoning in the Richiusa at Bocognano - Video

This particular canyon is made up of a series of obstacles, combining fun with the discovery of unspoilt Corsican landscapes. You'll need to bring your swimming costume and a pair of tennis shoes, but if you don't have any canyoning shoes, Cors'Aventure can hire them out for your comfort. In Propriano, you can also discover the Baracci canyon.

Private base and refuge from Richiusa

The meeting point is at the Bar des Amis in Bocognano. For your convenience, you can prepare at Cors'Aventure's private base at the foot of the Richiusa canyon, which you can see in the video. This is a unique offer in Corsica, providing the best possible welcome:

• Free private car park
• Changing rooms
• Drinking water, Washbasin, WC
• Enclosed storage space for participants' belongings
• Tables and benches

The Cors'Aventure refuge, which sleeps 15, is next door and can be used for multi-activity breaks, hikes and private events such as seminars.

Cors'Aventure prices - Online booking

The table does not include other activities. Please note that group rates are degressive and that cheques, holiday vouchers and bank cards are accepted. Despite the wetsuit, it is recommended that you know how to swim for aquatic activities, and swimming tests may be carried out for minors.

Activities with family and friends

Cors'Aventure offers a range of sporting activities to suit all levels of ability:

• Canyoning
• River kayaking - Sea kayaking
• MOUNTAIN BIKE
• Walking tours
• Climbing
• Multi-activity touring holiday

Year-round activities

While sessions for water-based activities such as sea kayaking at Isolella and canyoning take place for a large part of the year, from April to October, Cors'Aventure remains open in summer and winter for activities such as climbing, hiking and mountain biking for groups of between 5 and 20 people.

Equipment

You'll be prepared by a state-qualified instructor, who'll fit you out with a neoprene wetsuit adapted to your size according to the water temperature, as well as a helmet and harness. The adventure begins with a 45-minute walk through the scrubland, followed by a 2-hour descent through natural slides, jumps of between 2 and 10 metres (which are by no means compulsory) and 10-metre abseils. The return journey ends with a 15-minute walk.

Discover also the Ziocu Canyon in Soccia

The Canyon du Ziocu (or Zoicu) is located in Soccia, 1 hour 45 minutes from Ajaccio and one hour from Sagone. This is one of the most complete waterfall canyons in the world. There are two parts to this canyon: the first is open and fun, with jumps of between 2 metres and 8 metres (which are not compulsory). You'll go from basin to basin on natural waterslides or by jumping. All in a totally different setting.

Water rambling in the Vecchio

Since summer 2018 Cors'Aventure has been offering a full-day water trek in the Vecchio river near Vivario for the July/August periods. We've fallen in love with this new activity in an unspoilt setting with very few visitors.

Unlike canyoning, aquatic trekking is done without ropes or abseiling. You'll follow the course of the Vecchio, alternating between floating, descending slides and jumping into the river to your heart's content. In the middle of the day, the team will stop for lunch on the banks of the river, with picnics kept in watertight containers throughout the descent.

The group is made up of a maximum of 12 people with a wetsuit, helmet and boots.
