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.

We really enjoyed our Via Ferrata tour with Willie! He explained everything very well, from how to set up and use the equipment to what to expect during the climb. He explained in detail how the safety features work as well as what to be careful for in terms of falling and the dangers associated with them. And the dangers associated with them. We had a ton of fun, and my daughter who was afraid successfully completed the course as well as the shorter more challenging routes at the end. On top of everything, Willie took some really nice pictures of us! We would 100% hire him again to take us on another Via Ferrata or even just a regular climbing outing.

Our group had a great experience. Most of us were at Font for the first time so this was a great intro. The guide was helpful and even offered to drive us back to Paris rather than us having to take the train. Some coordination info on the website was unclear but I was able to chat with a representative online to get it sorted. Only regret was not signing up for the full day experience!

Leo was a warm and welcoming guide whilst being professional and safe. He recognised our abilities quickly and provided a great climbing experience for a family of mixed abilities. Leo also has fantastic local knowledge and shared other climbing sites for us to explore independently. Thankyou, we'd highly recommend
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
