Description

Gorges du Verdon is the perfect spot to do some climbing outside the high season. I generally take my clients here during Autumn and Spring to avoid the big crowds and high temperatures of the summer months.

I'm sure you'll have a memorable experience at Gorges du Verdon. The Verdon canyon is around 25 km long and up to 700m deep. Its limestone walls are famous among rock climbers. They have made a name for this place as a multi-pitch climbing hotspot.

We'll be climbing walls that are 250-300m long. In Gorges du Verdon, you start from the top, by abseiling down the wall towards the water, and only then you climb up. This requires some mental preparation.

I can take a maximum of 4 people with me for everybody to take advantage of the learning experience. I take the time to coach my clients so you can expect to see some significant improvements after our time together in Verdon.

If these 2 days in this gorgeous area sound like a good plan, contact me know. I'll be happy to be your guide! I know this area really well and will take you to all my favorite spots. 

Also, don't hesitate to check out some of my other rock climbing trips in southern France. I can even take you climbing during the winter to the Calanques, near Marseille.

Mountain Guide

Even as a kid, I knew I wanted to become a mountain guide. Growing up in Aix-en-Provence, in southern France, the Alps have been my playground since a very young age. Amazing climbing spots like the Calanques and Gorges du Verdon were just a stone throw's away from my hometown.

Eventually, I also became an architect, another long-time passion. As an architect, I lived in New York, Barcelona and Rotterdam and learned to speak fluent English and Spanish. I also met great people and had an amazing time while doing it!

I'm now back home in France and spend most of my time guiding in the Alps. I'll be happy to take you rock climbing, skiing or mountaineering to some of my favorite spots.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
