What people are saying about {{text}}

Are you looking for a **rock climbing experience designed especially for beginners**? Then follow me and learn the basics in a **scenic area of France**: the Calanques!

Created in 2012, **the Calanques National Park is located in southern France**. It includes part of the Massif des Calanques, a group of **impressive rock formations stretching along a 20-km coastline**. Its main cliffs go from the outskirts of Marseille to Cassis, a popular beach destination.

Dominated by **limestone walls rising vertically from the Mediterranean Sea**, this landscape has a unique natural beauty. Furthermore, it has rich and varied plant life and is home to unusual birds such as the Peregrine Falcon.

This program is perfect for those who want to **step into the world of rock climbing or beginners who want to improve skills**. We will get used to the equipment and practice the basic movements. **The Calanques offer thousands of routes!**

The initiation to rock climbing is a fun and demanding activity at the same time. In order to learn to climb safely, it is necessary to do it under expert guidance. **Keep in mind that you can join me for half-day, full-day, or several days.**

**So, if you are up for this rock climbing trip in the Calanques, please get in touch with me. Let’s discover a unique region and climb some stunning cliffs together!**

I also offer a [**unique overnight excursion in which you have the chance to spend the night on a portaledge in the Calanques**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/spend-night-portaledge-calanques-close-marseille/)**!**

Beginners’ rock climbing by the sea in the Calanques, near Marseille

Would  you like to discover the Calanques, a **natural gem of southern France**, in a different way? Then join me for this unique: **spend a night in a portaledge**, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes!

**The Massif des Calanques is a group of rock formations** stretching from the outskirts of Marseille to the town of Cassis. Part of the French Riviera, **it covers 20km of the Mediterranean coastline.**

This area, **that belongs to a National Park since 2012**, is an important tourist destination. Composed mostly of limestone, the vertical walls of the Calanques are a dream for r**ock climbers from all over the world**.

However, what I offer is **a totally different experience**. We will set a portaledge, a tent system designed especially for rock climbers, and spend a night on one of the cliffs of Calanques. **We will enjoy the sound of the waves, and see the sunset over the Mediterranean!** Furthermore, keep in mind that this tour is suitable for everyone!

**So, if you are up for a once-in-a-lifetime outing near Marseille, please get in touch with me. Come and experience a unique adventure and spend the night on a scenic cliff of the Calanques!**

I also offer [rock climbing trips for beginners in the Marseille region](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/beginners-rock-climbing-sea-calanques-marseille/). Check them out!
