FAQs
If we wanted to climb in the Verdon Gorge, where would we go and how would we get there if we were staying in Nice?
I recommend going to La Palud sur Verdon, which is the meeting point I always give. After it, we can carpool the short distance to the climb.
I am a boulderer, and I am looking for some guided climbs to learn ropes. Is it something you can help me with?
Yes, that’s definitely something I could help you with!
When is the best time to visit Verdon Gorges for climbing?
The ideal seasons for climbing in the Verdon Gorges are spring and fall. During these times, the temperatures are more conducive to climb, and you can enjoy routes both in the sun and in the shade. In spring (April to June), the weather is mild, and the landscape is lush with blossoming flora. The fall (September to November) brings cooler temperatures, making it comfortable to climb without the intense heat of summer.
During the summer months (June to mid-September), climbing can still be enjoyable, but it's advisable to stick to shaded areas to avoid the heat, especially during the peak of summer. Overall, while climbing can be done year-round, spring and fall offer the most favorable conditions for a memorable experience in the Verdon Gorges.

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.
