Ô’fil de LeyreThe wild Leyre All routes Route 6 km
The gentle escape
Discover an accessible canoe route on the Leyre through the heart of the gallery forest.
Your experience
A day that is easy to organise.
An accessible first descent, cool and contemplative. Shuttle, canoe or kayak, paddles and buoyancy aids are included. You leave your car at the finish, the shuttle takes you to the start, and you paddle back to your vehicle.
Limited shuttle seats
If the shuttle is full
Minibus seats are limited. When none are left, you choose how to reach the start — either way your car waits for you at Pont de Moustey and the minibus brings drivers back at the end of the trip.
What to bring
Shoes that stay on your feet and can get wet, sun protection and water. Leave a change of clothes in the car and keep your phone and documents in a dry bag.
How the shuttle works
You meet at the finish point and leave your car there. The shuttle drives you to the launch point, and you paddle back down to your vehicle.
On the river
The Leyre is calm with no technical difficulty, and a briefing is given before launching. Sandbanks invite you to stop : take your litter with you, the river crosses a regional nature park.
