Description

The Castel of Pont a Lesse is located in the heart of a natural environment, close to Dinant, in the province of Namur (Wallonia). This former "Chateau de Lesse" is nestled in 25 hectares of greenery. In the bucolic domain of the Castel hotel, join me for rock climbing along the superb narrow Lesse valley (Vallée de la Lesse).

The massif has several rocks, scattered in the wooden slopes. They are up to 25 meters high. There are different climbing styles, including slabs, cracks and dihedrons.

We will be climbing on limestone. The walls are accessible for beginners, and there are great options for experienced climbers as well. In fact, the level of the trip can be from easy to sustained. Besides, it's possible to combine this program with some via ferrata.

I really enjoy guiding my friends and clients rock climbing in Pont a Lesse because:
– The Lesse valley is really magnificient;
– The quality of the rock is excellent;
– It's ideal for an initiation with friends and family.

We will be in the area of Dinant. If you come for several days, we can also combine it with rock climbing in Freyr and Chaleux.

Interested in rock climbing in these beautiful limestone walls? Then don't hesitate to send me a request! And if you are looking for via ferrata in the area, I can also guide you, check it out.

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.

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.
