Description

The charming village of Orpierre is at the center of many limestone cliffs, perfect for rock climbing. We can find walls from 30 to 180 meters high, where we can practice both multi-pitch and single-pitch climbing. Besides, the inclination range is very vast.

Throughout the years, the village has become one of the main rock climbing destinations in France. This was due to the quality and equipment of the rock. Also, the climbing options are extremely varied and the mild climate allows for a very long climbing season.

Orpierre is located at the croassroads of three French departments. They are Drôme Provençale, Alpes de Haute-Provence and Hautes-Alpes du Sud.

There are over 600 climbing routes, thus offering many options for all tastes and levels. Whether you are looking for slabs, vertical walls, sports routes or multi-pitch routes, you'll find it here!

I will adapt the program depending on the experience and wishes of the participants. Indeed, we can cover an initiation and improvement of safety techniques on the wall, practice on sport routes or multi-pitch routes, learn coaching technique…

I really like guiding my friends and clients there because:
– The rock and equipment are high quality
– It's ideal to discover multi-pitch routes
– It's a wonderful initiation and improvement site.

Want to join me in the discovery of the Orpierre rocks? Then please send me a request so we can explore these walls together. In France, I also love rock climbing in Cerces and Ecrins, check it out!

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.
