I invite you to a unique rock climbing experience in a spectacular scenery. Join me for a 2-day guided rock climb in the Arête des Cosmiques and spend a night in a portaledge!
If you have a good head for heights and a brave spirit, an overnight hanging from the rock is something you have to experience!
It might sound risky, but I assure you sleeping on a portaledge is very safe. It's such a unique feeling, sleeping there with no one around, just us and the mountains. And from the Cosmiques Ridge, we will be able to enjoy a magnificent view of Mont Blanc.
The Arête des Cosmiques, also called Cosmiques Ridge, is one of the most popular routes in the impressive Mont Blanc Massif. It has a few challenging sections, but it is not too difficult. It has varied routes that offer a great diversity of climbing options. Also, it's really exposed and offers amazing views.
In the program I propose I offer you the option of just sleeping there: going down from the top and installing the portaledge not far from the top, or in the middle of the wall. Or we have the option of climbing up from the bottom of the wall and sleeping in the midddle. Then, with this option, the day after we would either abseil down or climb up.
Please note it’s possible to join this tour with no climbing experience.
If you want to go somewhere else or if the conditions at Arête des Cosmiques are not good, we can do this same program on the Brévent peak or in Annecy, above the lake. These are also 2 amazing spots for this great climbing adventure.
So if you want to be part of this unique experience, just send me a request! We will start planning this adventure in the Arête des Cosmiques right away.

He was great at making plans before our booked date and during improvising what to do when the routes we wanted to do were taken. He listened to my goals and helped me reach everyone of them!
