Saut à l'élastique dans les Gorges du Tarn: reviews, price 2026 and practical tips

107 meters of cliff, the Gorges du Tarn beneath your feet

Taking the plunge from a limestone cliff overlooking the Gorges du Tarn is a fundamentally different experience than jumping from a crane or a bridge. Here, the natural environment defines the sensation: limestone rock faces, the river far below, and silence broken only by the wind. The 107-meter drop makes this one of the most significant sites in France for the sport.

How the session works

You begin with a roughly 20-minute hike on a marked, safe trail to reach the jump zone. Once at the top, the crew handles the full setup: harness, leg straps, and adjusting the bungee cord to your exact body weight. A clear briefing precedes your turn at the edge. After the jump and the rebound, the instructors handle your descent to the landing area. The entire session lasts about an hour.

What sets this spot apart

The team, consisting of three professionals with over 20 years of experience, supervises every jump individually. Equipment is checked before every turn and meets current AFNOR (French Standardization Association) safety standards. The bungee cords are the latest generation. A video and photo package is available for purchase on-site. Tandem jumps are not offered.
