Description

Join me for a day of adventure climbing the Piton de Sucre on Reunion Island.

Made entirely of Volcanic Rock, just like the entire island, the Piton de Sucre offers a truly unique climbing experience. When you reach the summit you will be able to see the Cilaos Cirque. The Cilaos is a town and commune inside of a massive caldera at an altitude of 1,214m. There is a fascinating and tragic historical story within the Cilaos that is well worth reading about. Thus adding to the mystique of gazing at it from above.

The climb up the Piton de Sucre has some difficult moments. Being a multi-pitch ascent, there are several different 300 meter long routes of various grades. So some climbing experience is needed, from French Grade 5 in top rope. And you should be in good physical condition as well. However, this trip is still open to people as young as 10 years of age, making it a great trip for the whole family.

Reunion island is a gorgeous, breathtaking place, and to see it from the top of the Piton de Sucre will only add to the wonderment. So come and let me guide you to those heights; the ones not just measured in meters, but the ones reached in your heart and in your soul when seeing pure, absolute beauty.

I'll be awaiting your message.

And if you would like to take a beginners climbing course with me, so you can safely reach all of those heights I've just mentioned, you can take one with me here.

Mountain Guide

I've worked for more than 20 years as mountain rescuer in PGHM in the Alps, Pyrenees and Réunion. Now I devote my time to make you discover in all safety the hidden and wild beauty of the Réunion island. I want to share with you my passion for mountain sports.
I hold the following professional certifications that allow me to supervise mountain sports: UIAGM/IFMGA high mountain guide, canyoning instructor (DEJEPS canyoning) and climbing instructor (DEJEPS climbing and DEJEPS climbing in natural environments).
The Réunion island is known mainly for its magnificent coasts and beaches and the volcano "Piton de la Fournaise". But it's also filled with magnificent natural sites, wild and preserved, that I will help you to discover.

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.
