Description
I invite you to join me on an incredible vertiginous adventure over Cap Canaille, just a few kilometers from Marseille.
Combining hiking and easy climbing, this vertiginous vertical route is accessible to most people. Equipped with a harness, helmet, and safety lanyards, you will climb the cliffs of Soubeyrannes, between Cassis and La Ciotat, enjoying incredible views of the Mediterranean Sea and discovering wild places that are inaccessible on foot and without equipment.
After a 15-minute approach walk, we will take the Philémon trail and then the Immortelles ledge. We will follow passages secured by ropes and cables acting as handrails, featuring three abseils of 15, 30, and 5 meters, vertiginous ledges, and numerous sections of easy climbing. You will walk through a surreal landscape, surrounded by immense ochre-colored cliffs sculpted over thousands of years by the sea winds.
Throughout this route, you will enjoy an extraordinary atmosphere, suspended between the rocks and the Mediterranean Sea, with spectacular views.
