Infos & BookingDescription
I propose you to live a very unique and particular experience by coming to spend an incredible and unforgettable night, suspended on a cliff under the starry sky of the Hautes-Alpes department or in the Verdon gorges!
After the ascent of a climbing route or a vertiginous hike, we will stop on a comfortable ledge to spend the evening and have dinner far above the ground.
Then you will settle down on your two-seater portalegde* for a night out of the ordinary, before enjoying a hot coffee in the morning, in front of the sunrise, with your feet in the air!
Depending on your wishes and location, I will propose you several places where this activity can take place: one cliff in the Hautes-Alpes department, or the mythical and spectacular Verdon Gorges, a little further South.
If you feel like other vertical aventures in the Hautes-Alpes department, why not follow me in the via ferrata of the gorges of Ailefroide in Pelvoux or an introductory and autonomy climbing course in the Haut Val Durance?
* The portaledge is a folding and very comfortable platform for bivouac that climbers use during long climbs lasting several days. Comfortable, flat, light, this is a hotel where you cannot count the stars. During the night, you will always be attached and connected to the cliff for a total safety.
Program
D1: Easy climb or hike, then evening and night on a cliff.
We meet together in the late afternoon, or before depending on the choice of access (easy multi pitch route climbing or hiking).
After climbing a few easy pitches, or a path requiring the usage of the rope if you are not a climber, we will land on a ledge in the sky for a well deserved dinner.
Then we will install together your two-seater portaledge above the wall, for a magic sunset and night.
D2: Breakfast in the void and abseiling.
In the morning, you will have a hot coffee and a croissant whenever you want, facing the sunrise, with feet in the air!
Dismantling and storage of the portaledge and bivouac equipment.
Then we will leave the place by abseiling down.
