Description

Join me on this amazing half-day via cordata experience in the heart of the Calanques de Marseille, in the Calanques National Park. Come discover the magic landscape and natural beauty of this place by the Mediterranean Sea, in southern France.

The via cordata is an exciting activity based on the same concept as via ferratas. This intermediate level activity, between classic hiking and climbing, consists of easy climbing passages, using rope techniques such as rappelling and zip lining above the sea.

The Parcours Aventure (Adventure Itinerary) takes you through a truly exceptional natural location, along limestone cliffs overlooking the calanques, enjoying an exciting adrenaline rush!

The activity is suitable for beginners with no particular knowledge of climbing, although the length and difficulty of the route varies according to your physical level and wishes. It requires the use of harness and ropes for the crossing of different passages over the sea, but you don’t need any special climbing shoes to do it, just sneakers of hiking shoes.

I am an experienced guide, and my goal is to provide you a safe and enjoyable experience! This is a great opportunity to climb in a stunning location without being an experienced climber.

So what are you waiting for? Come discover the calanques from above and enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean! Just send me a request, book your trip and come join me for an exciting day near Marseille.

Rock Climbing Instructor

My name is Guillaume. I am a certified Rock Climbing Instructor in the Calanques, offering guided tours from Marseille to Cassis and everywhere in Provence.

I have been passionate about climbing since I was I child. I was initiated very early into climbing thanks to the mountain club of my hometown, Villemur sur Tarn, a small village in the south west of France. I had my first classes on the rock of Saint Antonin Noble Val, in the gorges of Aveyron.

During a trip with friends, I discovered Marseille and especially its national park. The beauty of the landscapes, the sun, the sea, and the endless number of climbing routes totally seduced me! After a year already planned in Quebec, I decided to validate my university degree in computer science. I applied to the last year of Computer Master at the Faculty of Luminy and moved to Marseille.

My passion for climbing became my profession a few years later, following a professional reconversion. More than 10 years later, I still live close to this beautiful area that is the Calanques and climbing in all its forms remains forever a passion.

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.
