Popular activities for families with children

Not every child is the same, which is why we always carefully match the difficulty level. The following activities from our program are exceptionally suitable for families with children from approximately 8 years old:

The VIU de llevata Canyon:

The absolute favorite for real water lovers! In this canyon, everything revolves around having fun in the water. Children can safely jump, slide, splash, and swim to their heart's content in deep, natural pools under the watchful eye of our guide.

Family rafting through the Collegats Corge:

A calm but impressive descent by raft on the Riu Noguera Pallaresa. While the children help with paddling under the guidance of the gids, vultures fly along with us high above the rocks.

Canyoning in the Boixols Canyon:

The ultimate water playground. Together with a guide, we walk, swim, and slide through crystal-clear pools. Jumps and slides are perfectly suited for young adventurers and are never mandatory.

Via Ferrata (Climbing):

Secured to a steel cable, we clamber up to a beautiful viewpoint near Camping Collegats. Through different routes (easy and challenging) that constantly meet, each family member can choose their own level.

     

    Professional guidance especially for families

    Outdoor sports with young adventurers requires a unique approach. Our experienced, Dutch-speaking guides are not only highly qualified technically, but they also specialize in enthusiastic children in a playful way. We understand that a canyon, high rocks, and wild water can be quite impressive!

    That is why we never push, but guide with a lot of patience, personal attention, and a healthy dose of humor. Safety is always our number one priority. We ensure that all equipment fits perfectly (such as thick, warm wetsuits and helmets) and completely adapt the pace to the energy levels of the children. This way, the kids get back on the bus at the end of the day with a giant smile and full of self-confidence!

    Viu de Llevata

    A trip full of jumps and slides

    Near the village of Viu de Llevata there is a beautiful canyon that is also named after this village. In this canyon we can jump from almost all waterfalls. Here we encounter jumps and slides such as: "the unexpected", "the trampoline", "the death jump" and our personal favorite "the tarzan". If this all causes a little too much adrenaline, it is of course possible to abseil on a rope with every jump.
    The spring gorge is the ideal place to push your personal boundaries while enjoying a beautiful piece of nature.

    Rafting collegats

    Beautiful nature and a number of rapids for the whole family

    If the white water on the "upper reaches" is a bit too intense for you, you can also opt for the rafting trip through the Collegats gorge. This trip is also very suitable for families with children. We sail with the raft through the beautiful Collegats gorge. Here we encounter whitewater rapids but also a beautiful piece of nature. Although the whitewater is slightly less intense than the trip on the "upper reaches", there is certainly enough challenge for both young and old. This trip is suitable for children aged 6 years and over who can swim.

    A canyon with everything in it

    Boixols

    A canyon with everything in it

    The Boixols canyon is an hour's drive from the campsite, but this hour is definitely worth it. It is a very varied canyon. We have some fun jumps and beautiful abseils. Since this canyon mainly consists of limestone, we also find a beautiful piece of nature here with beautiful clear water.
    The canyon itself is not very long and is largely sunny, so this tour is also very suitable for children. The temperature of the water can be cold.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of clothing and shoes should the children wear?

    For the water activities (rafting, canyoning, and the jumping gorge), children should bring swimwear and a towel. In addition, sturdy sports shoes that are allowed to get wet are mandatory. Didn't bring suitable sports shoes yourself? No worries: we have sports shoes in all sizes available to borrow for free! Naturally, we also provide professional wetsuits, helmets, and life jackets. For the via ferrata (climbing), regular sports shoes and comfortable sportswear are sufficient.

      Is there a minimum height or weight requirement for the activities?

      We do not apply strict minimum height or weight requirements for our family activities, as no two children are the same. We primarily look at the child's swimming ability and enthusiasm. Are you unsure whether an activity is suitable for your son or daughter? We are always happy to discuss this in detail beforehand to see what fits best. Our equipment, such as the mandatory life jackets and wetsuits, is available starting from small children's sizes, ensuring every child steps into the adventure safely and with the right fit.

        As a parent, am I required to participate in every activity?

        No, that is not required, although most parents find it a truly fantastic experience to share with their children! If you would like to do something else for a day or are looking for some peace and quiet, the children can (in consultation) join our guides independently in the Collegats vans. Our certified, Dutch instructors provide 100% supervision all day long, ensuring a safe and welcoming atmosphere.

          Is there a high chance that I will fall overboard?

          During the trip through the Collegats gorge the chance is very small. This chance is present on the "whitewater route", but we will provide you with a good suit, life jacket and helmet, so this is not dangerous. However, this can be frightening for small children. Partly for this reason, we also have an age recommendation for each activity.
