Thrill seekers, you have found your guide! Dominique not only collects diplomas and qualifications, he also knows how to share his good mood and his passion with you. When this big, stocky and smiling guy takes you to a canyon or on a hike, he knows what he's talking about. And his playground is the gorges of the Llech or the canyons of the Vallespir. Aventure Active also has a nautical base in the gorges of the Aude and invites you to beautiful descents in rafting, hydro-speed or kayak in dreamlike scenery...

We love accrobranches, but the one run by Caroline and Stéphane particularly appealed to us for its eco-responsible approach. The wood is located on the family's organic farm, so the equipment that makes up the 90 workshops has been installed with respect for the trees and nature, because when evening comes, the animals take over the site. So it's in an unspoilt, bucolic setting that you can move from tree to tree in complete safety, with a guaranteed feeling of well-being. You can picnic on site, with local produce at the refreshment bar.

Practical: valuables can also be stored in the reception chalet. Aquaviva, a must-see attraction in the département, to share with friends or family!
