1-Day Bora Bora Traverse in the Calanques

Feel the rush above the sea on this one-day climb in the Calanques! Head to Cape Morgiou and get your blood pumping on the Bora Bora traverse while enjoying the incredible Mediterranean scenery!

The Massif des Calanques are a coastal range in the south of France between Marseille and Cassis. Renowned for their epic pitches, traverses, and many top tier climbing spots, the Calanques are sought after by rock climbers from all over the world who are looking for the best routes in the most beautiful places.

Stretching into the Mediterranean, the Bora Bora traverse at Cape Morgiou is a true test of mettle. It extends far over the water, and the rock has tons of courses for every skill level. It also connects to other routes along the cliffs, so there are many variations to try.

The proximity to the cities make it easy to access, but the remote location along the central coast of the Calanques adds some privacy to the Bora Bora traverse. Depending on the approach it can take upwards of an hour to get to the route.

You will enjoy amazing views and heart-pumping action as we move across the classic limestone walls. There are great climbs with difficulties from 5b to 6b, which are all enhanced by the unique environment along the cliffs.

The routes do provide some challenges, so a good fitness level and some rock climbing know-how are necessary to enjoy this program.

This region is one of my favorites, and I would be pleased to take you on a safe trip through some of the best locations in the Calanques. I can guarantee you will want to return to these beautiful cliffs as soon as you can.
