The Massif des Calanques is a wild and rugged terrain situated on the outskirts of Marseilles, France. Spanning 20km toward Cassis, it is one the most famous natural beauties in the country and an essential destination for rock climbing lovers. In this trip I propose you to climb its best advanced routes under my expert guidance.
Les Calanques is divided into six main areas and offers a total of 2500 bolted routes and more than 1000 traditional routes. The style of the climbing spots is varied: technical slabs, steep overhangs in caves, multi-pitch and single pitches routes on the sea’s edge.
In this outing we are going directly to the routes for advanced rock climbers. I can take you to some classics routes of Calanques, such as The Future Croulants or Calanque of Eissadon. Other options can be Bora Bora, an exceptional spot with panoramic views from Luminy to Cap Canaille, and Traversée Sans Retour (“Crossing without return” in French), an amazing 5-hours route.
The limestone massif of Les Calanques is marked by the impressive crystal blue waters of the French Mediterranean. Upon on the rocks you will enjoy breathtaking views of a unique natural beauty.
So, if you want to climb the beautiful limestone rocks of Les Calanques and enjoy its beautiful landscape, contact me! I’m sure you are going to have an unforgettable adventure.
Anf if you are not an advanced climber, don’t worry! You should check out my Les Calanques rock climbing day tours for beginners.

Ivan guided our 14 year old son, who is an indoor boulder climber, for his first real outdoor climbing experience in the forests around Fontainebleau. Ivan was a patient and encouraging teacher with our son, stressing how he could be more efficient in his climbing and showing him how to read and approach the beautiful sandstone boulders. We honestly could not have asked for a better guide and experience. I know those days will be a wonderful lifelong memory for all of us. Highly recommended.

Ivan was a great guide for climbing around Fontainbleau. Due to the recent wildfires, many areas were closed for climbing. I’ve been able to find an area that was open. He picked us up from the train stop as we were visiting from USA and drove us to the forest climbing area. His knowledge of the area and explanation of the French grading system was very helpful and informative he provided great beta for outdoor bouldering as my kids and I mostly boulder indoor. Very good English.

We had a wonderful experience with Explore-Share and specifically Ivan from the company. He took my son on a guided climbing tour and it was exactly what my son was hoping it would be.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
