Kalymnos is a Greek island known worldwide for the exceptional quality of its rock and for its idyllic landscapes. For more than 25 years, sport cliff climbing has been developed there: more than 4,000 open routes, very well equipped, more than half of which do not exceed 6c!

There is also the possibility of making routes of several lengths (2 or 3 lengths) in order to rise above the sea…

The objective of the course is to improve your autonomy and your technique on the rock in a sporting cliff. Then secondly, to acquire physical and mental skills to carry out projects on sight or after work, while emphasizing the pleasure that the activity provides in the absolutely breathtaking setting of the island of Kalymnos.

Every 6 years, instructors holding the State Diploma in Climbing in Natural Environments & Canyoning must undergo compulsory refresher training which should allow us to evolve and question our way of working.

This is a very important time to brush up on new teaching practices, rope safety manipulations and first aid. It’s also the time for us to get together and discuss our profession, to be even more efficient and professional!

Big THANK YOU to the entire team of trainers and organizers of this quality recycling!

An unmissable place at the end of the village of Rodellar, come and disconnect at the KALANDRAKA refuge.

We eat there, we have a drink there, we dance there too… But above all, we enter an idyllic setting: old sheepfolds renovated with great attention, mixing stones and iron. Under the immense wisteria, we immerse ourselves in a relaxed and international atmosphere. Indeed, this refuge attracts climbers from all over the world who come to enjoy the incredible climbing cliffs of Rodellar!

They came to see us in the canyons of Sierra de Guara 4 years ago and delighted us with their enthusiasm and energy. If you want good deals in the Basque country, it’s here: KINDABREAK.

July has started off with a bang and all the lights are green:

– The weather is with us: lots of sunshine!

– Water levels are excellent,

– Few people in the canyons,

– the team of Sens de l’Eau instructors is in great shape!

See you soon in the canyons of Sierra de Guara!

The last heavy rains in Aragon have filled the canyons of the Sierra de Guara: we are therefore going to have a very aquatic start to the season! But above all, we are happy to find nature bubbling with life and the brilliant colors of spring.

Long live water!

Thanks all the guides of Le Sens de l’Eau : Michelle – Mathieu – Ben – Mica – Julien –  Léocadie – Pauline – Max – Sam – Étienne – Pablo

THANKS A LOT !!!

The spring rains have re-supplied the sources of the region, so that we are lucky to have higher flows than usual in the canyons!

Do not hesitate, come see us and enjoy the refreshing water of the SIERRA DE GUARA !!!!

Letter to all our customers,

A year that ends, another starts.. Time does not stop but we can take it to remember the past, rewind the film and find flavors that memory treasures. This 2022 season in the heart of the Sierra de Guara will have left us with a taste for effort, patience and sharing. It has not always been easy to steer the ship, but in the end, we had so much joy and happiness in making you discover this incredible nature.

So thank you, dear and loyal customers, for following us to the bottom of these Rios to practice canyoning under the Aragon sun. Shared smiles, collective contemplations, palpable emotions, all these sensations that give us the energy and strength to continue the adventure of Le Sens de l’Eau.

And of course, thank you to the instructors and secretary, above all friends, who help me realize this little childhood dream. Planted on the edge of the Mascun, my gaze planted on ocher and overhanging cliffs 27 years ago, I dreamed that this setting would become the daily life of a summer season.

Thank you to my partners, my friends, who follow me again and again in this crazy adventure, Pierre-Ju, Nico, thank you!

And it is with a touch of emotion that this parenthesis closes, of a season that will have been one of the best. But I’m starting to think that the next one will be even better… In any case, we are waiting for you in 2023, to discover or re-discover the canyons of the Sierra de Guara.

Happy new year !

Sam

Manuel made us discover his passion for these little-known birds of prey and yet first inhabitants of the cliffs of Guara. In addition to the famous Griffon Vultures, we were also able to see an Egyptian Egyptian Vulture, a Black Vulture and a Bearded Vulture!!

When the summer classics are impracticable due to water levels, nothing better to discover the star canyons of spring:

Discoveries & sensations in the fabulous FORMIGA: intense and very playful descent of this canyon in a gorge of conglomerate. This classic is all the more interesting in the spring because its slightly stronger than usual flow gives a sensational and sporty side to this canyon. The slides become almost ejectable and the waterfalls are more impressive. In short, re-discover the Formiga!

Adventures & endurance in the mythical MASCUN: take the path of the canyoning pioneers who ascended the canyon more than 45 years ago. This time, we will just go down it, from perched basins to suspended basins, discovering landscapes each more magical than the next. Lots of rappels, a few technical jumps and above all very long, the Mascun offers an unforgettable outing, tailored for an expert canyoning audience.

Ready, Set ….

We open the canyoning antenna this Wednesday, April 20. Already many groups have booked their outing! Do not hesitate any longer, contact us to organize your next stay in Sierra de Guara!

Offer a trip, a promise, a homecoming… For the next canyoning season from May 1 to September 30, a gift voucher in the amount of your choice for activities in Sierra de Guara or in the Jura, with the team of Sense of Water.

Report broadcast on Monday 23 August on the Sierra de Guara region, in partnership with LE SENS DE L’EAU (for the “canyoning” part).

Back to basics …

After a few bends, the landscape changes. Slowly, the road climbs and winds along the spine of the Barranco Fondo pass, direction: Les gorges du Mascun. Suddenly, the village appears. Rodellar, perched on its hill at the end of the road, is a gateway to nature. The vehicle stops, body and mind begin their journey.

We are preparing the canyoning equipment, we will need a neoprene suit, a helmet, a harness and fresh envy. This is how one of the first groups of the season arrives. They made the trip from Bordeaux and are happy to finally be able to stretch their legs on the winding paths of the Sierra de Guara. They are lucky, the weather is perfect, the water is crystal clear and there aren’t many people in the canyons.

We, the instructors, are happy !! Because we know that chemistry will take, that the Sierra de Guara never misses an appointment and that it always surprises, even when we know it by heart. We are happy to do our job as best we can, we are happy to see you soon by our side to admire the beauty of this powerful and incredible nature.

We descended the MASCUN Supérieur at the beginning of July 2020 in tribute to Pierre MINVIELLE: Recognized speleologist and first explorer of the most impressive canyons of Sierra de Guara, Pierre MINVIELLE is one of the pioneers of our activity. I was often inspired by his writings full of poetry, especially in his book “The Forgotten Sierra”. True lover of these mysterious gorges and the inhabitants of remote villages, he made the first epic ascents of the Rio Vero or the Mascun Superior.

In tribute to her work, we accompanied her daughter Caroline MINVIELLE in this legendary canyon that she had never crossed …

Thanks to her .. Thanks to Max for handling the strings !!!

We hope from spring 2020 to be able to enjoy with you the great outdoors of the Sierra de Guara.

Le Sens de l’Eau particularly thanks the medical teams who are currently fighting against the coronavirus, BRAVO !
