Description

Indeed, the National Park of the Calanques offers many different sites and cliffs: Calanques of Sormiou, Morgiou, Luminy, Port Miou, Goudes rock, etc.

And thanks to the diversity of these climbing sites, it is always possible to propose you sectors and routes adapted to your physical and technical level, from beginner to expert. Above all, it is possible to climb in the warmth, protected from the Mistral wind even in the middle of winter.
