Kayaking
Ariège Evasion offers rental kayaks from Ornolac-Ussat-les-
Bains. Most courses are from 3-15km finishing at Mercus
and last from 1 to 3.5 hours. A pleasant trip but don’t expect
to meet any huge rapids. You are collected at the end to
take you and the kayaks back to the centre.

White-Water Rafting
The departmental kayak school based in Foix offers a range
of kayaking and white water descents, all accompanied by a
qualified guide. They have the full range of equipment from
inflatable kayaks, rafts (suitable for between 4 and 8 people),
smaller individual inflatables and kayaks for 1, 2 or 3 people.

Canyoning
Canyoning is a combination of swimming, climbing, sliding or
walking down steep, fast-flowing mountain streams or rivers,
armed with a wet suit! An easy intro is offered by many
of the local providers, starting at around €40 per person.
There are sporting canyoning trips and custom day or even
weekend trips. Locations include Marc, l'Artigue and Orlu.
