Description

Explore Verdon Gorge, Europe’s most beautiful river canyon, in a 7-day hiking tour

Join me on this stunning 7-day hike around one of UNESCO’s World Heritage site: Verdon Gorge. This trekking route will take us through lavender fields, sparkling rivers, steep rock formations, and hidden tunnels. This historic route was used by Napoleon and the ancient Romans. In addition, we’ll go through some fascinating Provençal villages, such as the medieval towns of Castellane, Moustiers Sainte-Marie and the ancient Roman town of Gréoux-les-Bains. We’ll also get to savor the Italian cuisine and wine. This is a trip you’ll never forget!

We’ll be hiking each day for around 7-8 hours. We will be stopping throughout the day to enjoy the route and the amazing views, but I recommend you prepare yourself physically for the trip. We won’t need to carry our full luggage with us, only a small day pack. Our accommodation is in charming hotels in small villages, where we’ll get to enjoy exquisite local food and wine.

If you are a hiking enthusiast, you’ll love this adventure. Book your trip now! I would love to be your guide for this amazing experience.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
