Description

This 2-day sport climbing program in the Ecrins National Park, in southern France, is perfect for those wishing to improve their technical skills in the company of a professional mountain guide and avid rock climber.

The Ecrins has several rock climbing spots that are perfect for the summer season. Because of their altitude, it doesn't get as hot as in other venues in southern France.

During this 2-day rock climbing tour, I'll take you to some of my favorite spots in the Ecrins. I'm originally from this region and have been climbing here since I was a kid. We'll be climbing on both granite and limestone walls.

The spots I like to climb the most include :

Ceuse, close to Gap
Ailefroide
Le Ponteil
Freissinieres, very famous for ice climbing as well

We can set our base in Guillestre or Mont-Dauphin and from there access these amazing walls.

Also, depending on your wishes and level, we'll do both single-pitch and multi-pitch climbs.

I will help you progress, improve your technic and support you in reaching the next climbing level. Coaching my friends and clients, that's what I enjoy the most in my job!

If you're interested, we could also combine these 2 days of rock climbing, with an extra day of hiking. That way, you'll get to know this stunning national park a little better.

Apart from the great weather and high-quality rock, the Ecrins offers amazing scenery, with snow-capped summits and alpine forests. It provides a real mountaineering atmosphere.

Interested in joining me on these 2 days of pure fun and excitement? Then contact me now and I'll be glad to show you around the Ecrins while helping you improve your climbing skills.

I also offer a 2-day rock climbing program in the Calanques, near Marseille. Check it out as well!

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.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
