Set off to discover the most beautiful long climbing routes in the Calanques. From classic long routes to more sporty ones, the Calanques of Marseille, Cassis or La Ciotat offer an impressive range of climbing routes of all levels. From beginner to expert climber, I will help you discover grandiose landscapes and the climbing route you need!
What is multi-pitch climbing? Long routes are climbing routes whose length requires stopping at “relays” that rope partners join before continuing to climb the route.
For beginner climbers or the most experienced, this day of multi-pitch climbing is an opportunity to guide you on some of the most beautiful routes in France. In the Calanques of Sormiou, Morgiou, at Rocher des Goudes, at Cap Canaille, etc. and with a height of between 90 and more than 300 meters, the long routes are an opportunity to surpass yourself and discover unique atmospheres with a view of the sea, while progressing in your climbing techniques.
