Booked myself and my ten year old son for a morning of canyoning- Monte Medio had come highly recommended by friends locally. The whole experience was great. Daniel, the guide was first class. It was very apparent that his absolute priority was to show his guests a great time in a safe manner, without coming across as overbearing or patronizing, which can often be the case when taking part in an activity with a ten year old. He made sure my son was safe at all times, but allowed him the freedom to really explore and enjoy the activity, which led to a hugely rewarding experience for him. A great experience and one which was great to share!

I would just like to say a big thank you from myself and my friends for a great afternoon of canyoning on Monday 19th. Despite the high levels of water and difficult conditions you all did an amazing job. Everyone was super helpful and friendly from start to finish. The guides were exceptional - friendly, fun and above all professional. A couple of us are also outdoor sports professionals and it was clear to us how safely the guides kept the afternoon were able to adapt to the conditions and look after us throughout, and how above all they clearly enjoyed their passion.
Thanks again and looking forward to another adventure at some point in the future.

Many thanks to Mathilde who gave us a fantastic introduction to canyoning. A really fun and thrilling morning.
I took my 12 and 10 year old children, Mathilde was very professional and looked after my 10 year old on the big rappel. Highly recommend trying it out. Many thanks for a great morning.

Me and my partner did a 3 hour climbing beginners refresher and introduction to lead climbing course with Sebastien, who was really outstanding at giving us a very structured, methodical and instructive lesson in how to use all the bits of climbing equipment safely (belaying, top-rope climbing, lead-climbing). His manner was friendly, down to earth and he was really helpful. His English was good enough - and our French was good enough for us to exchange and learn good French rock-climbing terms. I would recommend Sebastien to any new climber or any climber who wants a refresher in the basics on a rock wall that seems popular for beginners. I'm sure he can do more advanced, but that's where we were at on this particular occasion, and we were made to feel very safe. Well worth the money. Really good learning spot

A fabulous afternoon of Via Ferrata and zip wires for our family of 5. We had done Via Ferrata before in Austria, so knew what to expect, but the experience was just as exhilarating as we'd hoped. We had an excellent guide and thoroughly enjoyed the variety of hiking, climbing, zip lining and gorgeous views. As an aside, we had originally booked to go on a different day but due to poor weather our trip was cancelled. It was easily rearranged to another day with excellent communication with the company. Would strongly recommend.

We had an amazing first time canyoneering experience with our guide Paul. He was patient and incredibly knowledgeable. The experience was a bit challenging and scary at times but Paul always made sure to suggested an alternative route and was there to support us the entire time. If you like adventure I would strongly recommend the canyoneering experience.

We had a fabulous time, Sebastian was our guide and he was really helpful and we felt safe the whole time. Beautiful scenery, a good challenge and would highly recommend.
It was our sons (14yo) first time doing a via ferrata and he loved it.

We had a great time doing canyoning by the lake. The Monte Medio company has existed for twenty years and is since three years back managed by Raimon Isnart and his wife. They have a small place half an hour south of Annecy down by the lake side just outside a camping site. After putting on the wet suits (good brand according to my daughter) the family walked up in the forest above the lake to reach the place on the river where the canyoning would start. This walk took around twenty minutes on a quite slippery path in the beautiful forest. Since I didn't participate in the actual river descent I had to walk back along the same path down to the lake. I must confess I was a bit nervous about the family, and especially how my wife would cope. Raimon was a safe guide down the river however and the family was very happy when they finally reached the lake after almost two hours and could end the experience with a bath in the lake together with a couple of swans.

We arranged an afternoon via ferrata with Monte Media for ourselves and two girls (9&12).
Setting is beautiful and the experience was very well organised and guided.
Took around 3 hrs and had elements of climbing, zip wire and abseiling. All was safe and well instructed.
We had an a fab time. Would definitely recommend!

Our family were staying in Lake Annecy without a car and rang Monté Médio to discuss our options re via ferrata, canyoning etc. They were extremely helpful, with lots of advice on transport options etc. after catching a boat to Talloires and a short walk to Angon we relaxed at the beach next to the base.
We did the Angon Canyon Discovery with Romain as our guide - and ended up being the only booking, so had the tour to ourselves! It was our first time canyoning and we all loved it. Romain was engaging and confident and made sure everyone felt safe and enjoyed their experience. They also emailed us some great action photos which was an added bonus.
It was the highlight of our 3 teenage children’s 3 weeks in France. Thank you Monté Médio and Romain!

Hi there, I want to book the Via Ferrata Annecy but it looks like the meeting point is far from town and public transportation doesn't go there and taxi costs can be $100 round trip. Do you have a shuttle or recommendation on how to get to Refuge de Pré Vérel if I don't have a car?
Written September 16, 2018
Hello Leslie,
You can rent a car for a day, it will be cheaper than a taxy...
We hope that this solution will be good for you.

How far in advance do you have to book this? And from atipik hotel is there anyway (without a car) to get there?
Written June 2, 2018
Hi Sarah, you can book any activity a few days ahead. We just need 4 people booked in to go: so the sooner you book, the better we can complete the group.
Which activity would you like to book? There are buses to get to our canyoning base from the train station (ligne 61: Annecy-Talloires)
See you soon :-)
