The “black beast” of the western Pyrenees. A wild, isolated and huge canyon that will leave you speechless
.
.
..
Going through the Olhadubie canyon involves facing one of the largest descents in the Pyrenees. The enormous dimensions of its walls, covered by a primitive plant landscape, barely allow the sun’s rays to penetrate, creating a unique light and shadow show. A technical descent, demanding, and sometimes shocking; and an exceptional canyoning experience.
