Description

For such a small island, Corsica is remarkably plentiful when it comes to great climbing spots. And on this mountaineering adventure, I would like to take you climbing on the Lombarducciu (2,261m), which is located in the Vallee de la Restonica in the municipality of Corte.

Like most mountains, there are several different ways to reach the summit of the Lombarducciu. And on this trip, you will get to choose from 3 different options. Each one will provide you with a unique experience, as well as a unique set of views. And based on different factors, from weather and snow conditions, to your skill level and desires, we will jointly find the best option for you.

The Jumos option consists of 220 meters. It is TD mixed grade and requires 1.5 to 2.5 hours of walking, depending on snowfall. For the right corridor option, you are looking at 280 meters. It is a TD + mixed grade and requires 1.5 to 2.5 hours of walking, depending on snowfall. Finally, for the left turn option, you are also looking at 280 meters with a TD grade and a 1.5 to 2.5 hour walk, depending on snowfall.

Each one of the options will provide you with exciting climbs. And I can assure you that you will be properly and safely guided every step of the way. Furthermore, when it comes to wonderful views in Corsica, and particularly of the Vallee de la Restonica, you can’t do much better than the summit of the Lombarducciu.

Would you like to enjoy a great mountaineering experience in Corsica? then send me a request, come to Corte, and let me guide you. I look forward to showing you the beauty of the Vallee de la Restonica.

Mountain Guide

Certified mountain guide UIAGM / IFMGA
I work with Manu, a good friend of mine...
We are both rock climbing instructors and certified mountain leaders. I shared with Manu happy and doubtful moments, building a professional future with a passionate focus on the mountain and the guide role. An open vision over the world, where our competences, knowledge and curiosity are at our client’s service for one day or for life.
The agency we founded together is the natural outcome of our profound complicity. People think we are cousins or brothers. We are just friends, and lucky to be so, because our children are in love: as in love as you can be at 8 years old!
We are both lucky to live in Corsica, this unknown mountain where climbers, mountaineers and skiers still feel like pioneers. This mountain is our playground and our office.
Curious and open to the world, we also organize each year trips to faraway places to see what other mountains and people can give to us, and what we can learn from them.
Ice in the Equator and Patagonia, Spanish, Jordanian or American rocks, snow in the Carpathians, Norway ot the Caucasus. We love the mountain in all its forms and every time we reach a summit we want to climb the neighbouring summit and find what is hiding behind it.

What people are saying about Cédric

Brett

Our guide, Manu, was fantastic, very experienced and knowledgeable, and a great, friendly guy. The climb was amazing, and Restonica Valley so awe inspiring.

Hemanth

Jeff was our rock climbing guide and he was awesome. He was easy to communicate with ahead of time, extremely knowledgeable about all the routes, kind and very safe on the rocks with us. He was flexible about which routes we did . We had a really wonderful day with him and felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend him.

Stacy

Cedric was a competent fun guide. We did several multi-pitch climbs. He accommodated our desire to lead both multi sport and trad. Using a guide and just bringing our personal climbing gear was the only way we could fit climbing in. I would use Cedric again.

My 1 day of glorious granite sport multi pitching with Cedric! The only route (??) to start from the sea was a great adventure with some exposed pitched of enjoyable climbing. Cedric was great: full of energy and enthusiasm and really motivating. Obviously extremely professional and handing out advice both with climbing technique and rope / safety.

IMPORTANT COMMENT: the trip couldn't be made due to the weather. But both Cedric as the backoffice team has been extremely helpful in finding an alternative and solution. Finally we didn't go because of illness of 2 of the group. But definitely I will look for another trip next year.
