Description

The Mercantour National Park is in a unique setting: in the Alps, neighbouring the Mediterranean Sea. The beauty of the area is truly worth a visit. And even better, an immersion into this magic environment.

Therefore, I propose to spend three days in the Arêtes du Mercantour. Indeed, I planned a mountaineering program to enjoy the surroundings while learning about this discipline.

Do you want to learn how to progress in all safety? Then join me in this trip in the Alpes-Maritimes.

We will climb the summits around the Madone de Fenestre during three days. The Madone de Fenestre (1904m) is a sanctuary. We will sleep and eat at the cozy Madone mountain hut, which is the starting point of many hikes in the area.

We will cover several topic for you to learn the proper techniques. This will include how to:
– set mechanical protections
– belay on spikes
– move together
– descend belaying

Tempted to join me to learn mountaineering in this stunning setting? Then don't hesitate to send me a request so we can set a date! I also enjoy very much guiding ski touring trips in the Mercantour, check it out!

Mountain Guide

Hi! My name is Fabien Artero, I have been a mountain leader since 2008 and mountain guide since 2014. I discovered my passion for the mountains by spending time during my youth at the Valle Argentina in Italy, in the Ligurian Alps.

I slowly discovered activities that allowed me to travel the valley along the seasons...

The mountain is a large playground. We have to play according to its mood, mountain conditions, weather and finally choose the itinerary... Which renders these activities complex and exciting.

These activities allow us to discover the valleys, massifs, the countries and people living in them. Altogether is makes for an enriching mixture from any point of view.

I wanted this to become my profession because, of the mountains, human contact and the practice of exciting activities.
