Infos & BookingDescription
I propose you to come and spend an unusual and unforgettable night in the middle of a cliff, with a breathtaking view on the Bourget lake.
In the heart of Savoie, between Annecy and Aix-les-Bains, it is an extraordinary experience that awaits you. Comfortably installed in your portaledge, you will spend a unique night in the middle of nowhere (but of course in total security), enjoying the sunrise and sunset on the nearby lake.
The portaledge is a folding platform that climbers use for multi-day ascents. Comfortable, flat, light, it's a hotel where you can't count the stars. During the night, you will always be attached and connected to the wall, for a total safety.
In the morning and after breakfast, you will return to the floor thanks to a long abseil (not mandatory).
Prerequisite:
- Be over 18 years old.
- Not prone to vertigo.
This vertical experience will perhaps give you the opportunity to discover climbing during a private lesson or to try multi pitch route climbing with me.
Program
- Meet at 6pm on the parking lot of the belvedere of La Chambotte, half an hour drive from Chambéry or Annecy.
- I'll give you an isothermal backpack containing your two meals and the technical equipment (harness and helmet).

- Safety briefing at the top of the cliff before settling in for a dizzying dinner. On the menu: gourmet Savoyard fondue while contemplating the Bourget lake and the sunset.
