Les Gorges du Guil

On the way, you'll overlook the magnificent Guil river, an amazing whitewater spot in the Alps, but also a fisherman's paradise, especially for fly-fishing!
The Guil has carved two exceptional gorges out of the rock, known as ""les combes"". The first forms a natural moat at the medieval castle of Château-Queyras. It’s bark may be worse than its bite, but we strongly advise against swimming in it - just look at it...or do the via ferrata! which overlooks it. The second is called the ""guardian angel"". This less impressive but more technical combe is a succession of steep, manoeuvrable rapids.
The Guil then follows the road to the ""Saut du Roi"" dam. The technical level varies between classes 4 and 5.
