Climbing in les Gorges du Verdon

Climbing is a great source of pleasure and sensations. An activity in itself, it is also the founding basis for other areas such as ice climbing, mixed mountaineering and rocky terrain. And when you try it’s hard to stop…especially in les Gorges du Verdon !

Climbing in les Gorges du Verdon is probably one of my favourite activities. Maybe the most beautiful cliffs in Europe. A place where exceptional rock and great atmosphere are combined. Come ans see, you climb there like nowhere else.

The main roads are a little trip. Each with its characteristic mixture of pleasure and discovery, in addition to physical improvement. The routes range from 100 to 400 meters high and are for all levels, expert or initiation (from 3a to 8a)

Each cliff offers introductory paths, perfect to learn pitch climbing.

I particularly like climbing in Verdon Gorges for the following reasons:

• It is a very wild place;
• There prevails an atmosphere like nowhere else;
• The rock is exceptional and there is an incredible concentration of routes and different styles.

Here are some routes that I particularly like:

• The herbetto 4a
• Gray tiles 5c
• Demand 6a +
• The Ula 6b
• At the very heart 6b
• Pichenibule 6c +
• The feast of nerves 7b
• Mescalito 7c + – Mingus 8a

Here are some other rock climbing spots in the South of France where we can go together:

• Cape Canaille
• The Calanques
• Aiglun

I’ll take max 4 people with me. If you come with a larger group, I’ll ask a friend of mine, IFMGA certified as well, to join us.

The dates are to be agreed with the participants. We can climb here all year round.

I invite you to come to this part of France where I come from and where I really appreciate guiding my friends and clients.
