Canyoning, also known as canyoneering, is an outdoor activity that involves navigating through a canyon using a variety of techniques such as walking, climbing, scrambling, jumping, rappelling, and swimming. Canyons are formed by erosion over millions of years, often resulting in narrow gorges, steep cliffs, and waterfalls, making them perfect for this adventure sport.

Participants in canyoning typically wear specialized gear such as helmets, wetsuits, harnesses, and rappelling equipment to navigate through the canyon safely. The activity can vary greatly in difficulty, ranging from relatively easy hikes through shallow water to more technical descents requiring advanced rope work and climbing skills.

Canyoning offers a unique way to explore natural landscapes, often taking adventurers through stunning scenery that is inaccessible by other means. It combines elements of hiking, climbing, and swimming, providing an exhilarating and challenging experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Safety is paramount in canyoning, and participants often undergo training or go with experienced guides to ensure a safe and enjoyable outing.
