Description

This one-week adventure takes you to some of the most beautiful canyons in Europe, and challenges you to some adrenaline-fueled activities.

Slide and swim in the crystal-clear waters of Carleva Wild Canyon, visit the Valley of Wonders, home to the largest site of rock engravings in Europe, and rappel down the rock face of a cave in La Maglia Canyon, one of Europe most beautiful.

Enjoy a lovely picnic in between activities surrounded by the beautiful canyon scenery.

Due to the variety of activities involved in this one-week trip, it is important to be in good physical condition. And because that the week centers around water, it is necessary to know how to swim. However, it is not necessary for you to know the technical aspects of all the activities planned for the week. I will be here to how and guide you how to use them correctly.

Children from the age of 12 years old and above can be admitted on the trip.

Reserve your place now for a week full of wild activities in southeastern France. Hike the hills, jump and swim in the clear canyon waters, and slide and rappel down the rock faces.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Joshua

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.
