DESCRIPTION

The Rio de Barbaira is located in Italy, about 1h30 from Nice. After a forty minutes hike, on a well marked but steep path, the canyon is revealed before our eyes. A pretty Roman bridge allows us to cross the river to get wet. The first part is a warm-up with small jumps and abseils. Then comes the highlight of the show: the grandiose embankment where we will find the biggest jumps, the longest swimming parts but above all the most breathtaking views. Vegetable walls with plants and ferns watered to the rhythm of the drip; vertical Zen gardens… You will have understood, superlatives quickly run out to describe the Rio Barbaira. A small plus of the day, at the exit of the canyon, you will be able to experiment the art of “farniente” by sipping a cool drink on the terrace, on the village square !

Meeting point

The car park is located in the public car park of the Italian village of Rocchetta Nervina 18030.
