Description

Are you looking for a rock climbing experience designed especially for beginners? Then follow me and learn the basics in a scenic area of France: the Calanques!

Created in 2012, the Calanques National Park is located in southern France. It includes part of the Massif des Calanques, a group of impressive rock formations stretching along a 20-km coastline. Its main cliffs go from the outskirts of Marseille to Cassis, a popular beach destination.

Dominated by limestone walls rising vertically from the Mediterranean Sea, this landscape has a unique natural beauty. Furthermore, it has rich and varied plant life and is home to unusual birds such as the Peregrine Falcon.

This program is perfect for those who want to step into the world of rock climbing or beginners who want to improve skills. We will get used to the equipment and practice the basic movements. The Calanques offer thousands of routes!

The initiation to rock climbing is a fun and demanding activity at the same time. In order to learn to climb safely, it is necessary to do it under expert guidance. Keep in mind that you can join me for half-day, full-day, or several days.

So, if you are up for this rock climbing trip in the Calanques, please get in touch with me. Let’s discover a unique region and climb some stunning cliffs together!

I also offer a unique overnight excursion in which you have the chance to spend the night on a portaledge in the Calanques!

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.
