Description

Around the beautiful city of Corte in Corsica, there are a number of fantastic climbing spots. And on this trip, I would like to guide you on a rock climbing adventure in one of the best spots there is, the Vallee de Tavignanu.

At the Vallee de Tavignanu, there are two wonderful rock climbing locations you can choose from, each one with two different climbing  routes. Thus giving you four exciting climbing options to choose from. And you can be sure that I will help you pick the perfect one for you based on your skill level, desires and snow and weather conditions.

The two rock climbing spots we can choose from are Rossolinu (908m) and the Punta Finosa (1,885m).

At Rossolinu, there is the 200 meter Shadow and light route, which is TD grade and requires a one-hour and twenty-minute walk, and the Happiness is in the meadow route, which is also 200 meters. This route is ED grade and also requires a one-hour and twenty-minute walk.

At Punta Finosa, there is the 550 meter Amore e pace route, which is ED grade and requires a one-hour and fifty-minute walk, and the 250 meter Ombra di l’omu route. This route is ED grade and requires a two-hour and thirty-minute walk.

Each choice is unique. But each choice will give you a great climbing experience, along with spectacular views of the Valle de Tavignanu.

Do you want to do some rock climbing in Corsica? Then send me a request, come to Corte, and let me take you to the Vallee de Tavignanu.

I also offer a mountaineering trip in the Vallee de la Restonica as well.

About the guide

Certified mountain guide UIAGM / IFMGA
I work with Manu, a good friend of mine...
We are both rock climbing instructors and certified mountain leaders. I shared with Manu happy and doubtful moments, building a professional future with a passionate focus on the mountain and the guide role. An open vision over the world, where our competences, knowledge and curiosity are at our client’s service for one day or for life.
The agency we founded together is the natural outcome of our profound complicity. People think we are cousins or brothers. We are just friends, and lucky to be so, because our children are in love: as in love as you can be at 8 years old!
We are both lucky to live in Corsica, this unknown mountain where climbers, mountaineers and skiers still feel like pioneers. This mountain is our playground and our office.
Curious and open to the world, we also organize each year trips to faraway places to see what other mountains and people can give to us, and what we can learn from them.
Ice in the Equator and Patagonia, Spanish, Jordanian or American rocks, snow in the Carpathians, Norway ot the Caucasus. We love the mountain in all its forms and every time we reach a summit we want to climb the neighbouring summit and find what is hiding behind it.

IMPORTANT COMMENT: the trip couldn't be made due to the weather. But both Cedric as the backoffice team has been extremely helpful in finding an alternative and solution. Finally we didn't go because of illness of 2 of the group. But definitely I will look for another trip next year.

We've had the best time with Manu at the Suare crag in Calvi. His professionalism is absolutely top class and made us feel incredibly safe with his professional climbing skills. Most importantly we had a lot of fun. Explore Share is an amazing platform with various activities around the world and I can't believe I never knew about it until now! I've already share this platform with adventurous friends and I am sure I will definitely be using this service again. Well done guys for your efficiency! Love your work!

Manu, was a very friendly and professional guide. As I am fairly new to climbing he picked a good route suitable to my experience. As a result I really enjoyed the trip and felt that I learnt a lot. I would definitely do this trip again and would recommend it to others

My 1 day of glorious granite sport multi pitching with Cedric! The only route (??) to start from the sea was a great adventure with some exposed pitched of enjoyable climbing. Cedric was great: full of energy and enthusiasm and really motivating. Obviously extremely professional and handing out advice both with climbing technique and rope / safety.

I had amazing 2 days climbing in Corsica with Cédric as my guide. Cédric introduced me to Corsican backcountry that he lovingly called his garden: massive towering mountain, emerald waters of roaring streams, beautiful wild flowers. I highly recommend Cédric to anyone looking for a guide be it Corsica or anywhere else. I miss this incredible place already and look forward to coming back!
