Description

Whether sporting or leisure, climbing is above all an activity for leisure that combines sport, overcoming difficulties, concentration, techniques, and sharing. On these exciting half-day climbing days in Marseille, you will learn what you need to put some single-pitch skills to practice in a unique location.

Marseille boasts beautiful climbing sites, for all levels. Contemplating landscapes and disconnecting from the rest of the world makes climbing a popular form of sports meditation, and in this stunning location, it is well worth the effort. I invite you to discover this discipline. Whether you are a first-timer, a climbing enthusiast looking to advance your skills, or an advanced climber, I guarantee you an unforgettable moment in the enchanting setting of Marseille, Cassis, and La Ciotat.

Possible Climbing sites include:

  • Baumettes Park to Morgiou: a great climbing school for all levels, even for the very young, with no walking (but no sea view)

  • South face of Goude's rock: typical mountain, superb view of the islands, superb atmosphere(grades from 4a to 6c, 35mn approach)

  • The perfumery towards Sormiou: superb view of the islands (grades from 4b to 6b, 20mn approach)

  • Harry Poter sector: a dream site with a view overlooking the Calanque de Sormiou.

  • Le Pouce à Sormiou: an area on the heights of the magnificent Calanque de Sormiou (grades from 4c to 6b, 20mn approach)

  • The Petit Saussois and the oasis: 2 overlapping sectors overlooking the Calanque de Sormiou (grades from 3c to 6a, 20mn approach)

  • The ouro: the wild side of Sormiou, superb view of the islands (grades from 3a to 4b, 30mn approach)

  • The coastal shelter in Morgiou: an enchanting setting for an advanced outing (grades from 5a to 6c, 20mn approach)

I will select for you the most beautiful panoramic climbing sites with a turquoise seabed below, and a superb training site with direct access from the car park, in Marseille (Vers Morgiou). Children and total beginners are more than welcome. I can take care of your children and bring them back to the meeting point at the appointed time!

Rock Climbing Instructor

I fell in love with rock climbing in 2009. The beauty of the outdoor scenery and the challenge against gravity made me addicted to climbing. After a career as an IT engineer, I became an indoor climbing instructor in 2018. I was a coach in Paris for every type of person (beginners, competitors, kids, mountaineers mentally handicapped people, disabled people, etc). Since 2022, I have been a rock climbing instructor in the south of France. I'm really to guide people in the beautiful Calanques national park, Verdon's gorge, Orpierre, Cassis, etc. You'll like the fantastic feeling of the zipline above a blue lagoon in the via cordata "Bec de Sormiou", or climbing on the multi-pitch of the beautiful Calanques of En Vau. Please find some of my offers or contact me if you have your own project. Let's make your dream happen together!

This was our first trip to France, and we had an amazing time climbing in the Cassis area. We gave our guide some information about what kind of climbs we wanted to do and the guide found the perfect places that were exactly what we were looking for. We are experienced climbers but could not have found these places without the help of our guide. We will definitely use this service again.
