Vignemale (3298m) is the highest peak in the French Pyrenees. With 900 meters of limestone walls, the north face of Vignemale is one of the largest in the Pyrenees. Join me in this fantastic destination for multi-pitch rock climbing!
We will be in the Pyrenees National Park, close to the border with Spain.
There are many climbing routes in Vignemale. And the ascent of the summit, rising to 3298m, is a perfect example of what "pyreneism" means.
I propose to you here to climb the north face of Grand Vignemale (or Pique Longue) by the classic route. It will be 800 meters of exciting climbing! We will get the chance to see the impressive Ossoue glacier, as part of the climb is over this area. But if you want to try another route, it's also possible.
Even though the climbing area is easily accesible, the terrain has remained quite unspoilt. So we get to appreciate the natural surroundings during this fantastic 2-day climb.
Tempted to climb the north face of Grand Vignemale? Then don't hesitate to send me a request to book this trip! It will be my pleasure to guide you up there. And if you are also looking for some ice climbing in the Pyrenees next winter, have a look at this program at the Cirque de Gavarnie.

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.
