Description

Join me as I lead you through the Calanques National Park, reaching the peak of Mont Puget, a view packed with stunning landscapes of the French Mediterranean coast.

The return of spring resuscitates the life of the Calanques National Park. Opened in 2012, and stretching from Marseille to Cassis, the park is packed with biodiversity and sublime landscapes.

Limestone rocks, towering cliffs hanging off the southern coast, which are a mineral treasure.

Hiking to the highest peak on Mont Puget, dazzling sea panoramas begin to emerge. From here appears sublime sights.

The Calanque du Sugiton (Cliffs of the Roof) that rise from the Mediterranean waters, and clothed in greenery.

La Grande Candelle (The Big Candle), sticks out among the Calanques, rising 465 meters, and is popular with rock climbers.

The beautifully rugged spires of the Cliffs of Devenson, piercing over the Mediterranean sea.

The top of Mont Puget is covered with narrow limestone rock, like needle spikes soaring at the skies. Below, watch the waters of the Mediterranean glisten.

Even though the level of activity is easy to moderate, the hike includes hours of walking on soft but also rugged terrain. Therefore, it requires a good level of fitness.

Reserve your place to reach the summit of Mont Puget, the peak of the Calanques National Park, and surround yourself in sublime panoramas of the French south coast.

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.
