bridge hunting and canyoneering

For over 20 years I have been an enthousiastic canyoneer. This fascinating sport (called canyoning in Europe) has revealed to me the impressive beauty of nature on one of the last frontiers of adventuring: rappeling in fresh waterfalls, jumping in deep emerald potholes, slipping on natural toboggans, swimming in deep slots, squeezing around chokestones. It provides a fun perspective but you should be prepared for challenges. Since the beginning of the nineties I have covered a wide range of about 174 canyons in the French Alps, Spanish Pyrenees mountains and the Colorado Plateau in the U.S.. In 1994, I encountered Alexander Oulevey, a swiss student who also fell in love with this sport. Now he's my best "canyon companion". Alex is also the creator of this website. Sometimes in the watercourse of these canyons we enjoyed natural bridges of stone or potholes bridges in magnificient natural surroundings.
