Canyoning Pussy
Level 2
Pussy village
Abseiling, more abseiling and then some more abseiling!
Available everyday
9:30am start
Adults and children from 12 years old
The canyon of Pussy is more technically challenging as it is almost exclusively abseiling descents: there are around 7 between 10m and 25m including a horizontal one and a guided rappel down a waterfall.
It takes around two hours from start to finish and you get out of the canyon with a via ferrata – type ladder.
The canyon is in the Village de Pussy (73) which is on the road of the Col de la Madeleine. You will need to get to the canyon with your own car (around 55 minutes to an hour from Bourg St Maurice).

Useful information
You should bring: a swimming costume, a towel and trainers or walking shoes that have good grip and ideally provide some ankle support (no beach shoes or flat trainers e.g. Converses)
We provide: full wetsuits, neoprene socks (to go inside your trainers), helmets and harnesses.
Please note: your clothes and belongings will stay in your car, avoid bringing valuables.
You can do: rafting, hydro-speed swimming and paragliding (depending on the severity of the vertigo).
You should avoid: the tree-top adventure course and canyoning (due to waterfall jumps and abseiling).
Each activity has a specific time-slot and meeting point, these are given upon booking.
– If you are staying in Les Arcs and would like to participate in rafting or hydro-speed swimming you have two options:
Everyday, you can use the free shuttle buses to get to Arc 1600 and from there use the Funicular train to go down to Bourg St Maurice whereupon we will pick you up in our private bus that will take you to the white-water base. At the end of the activity we will drop you back at the Funicular train station in Bourg St Maurice for the return journey.
On Tuesdays and certain Wednesday morning, take our free bus directly from the Villards village in Arc 1800 down to the white-water base. At the end of the activity we will drop you back to the Funicular train station in Bourg St Maurice where you can get the Funicular back up to Les Arcs and use the free shuttle buses to arrive at your chosen destination within the resort.
Don’t forget to tell us if you need any of these options when you book.
– Unfortunately it is not possible to participate in canyoning without a car as the meeting points are at least an hour’s drive from Les Arcs and they are quite out of the way so there are no public transport options.
All participants must have their own insurance in case of any accidents or injuries and may wish to get cancellation insurance as an extra option. We recommend the online insurance: Impact Multi Sports.
For paragliding courses you must have a FFVL licence and a medical certificate which is not more than 3 months old.
