Activity description
Not afraid of heights and looking for a sensational activity in the Calanques National Park? Head to La Ciotat for a vertiginous via corda course at Cap Canaille!
Not particularly difficult, but still requiring a good level of fitness, this route combines hiking, abseiling and climbing at the Soubeyranes cliffs in Cap Canaille, offering unforgettable moments with family and friends. Both sporty and full of exceptional views from the heights of the cliffs, this route via the Philémon trail and the Vire des Immortelles is not to be missed in the Calanques National Park, whether you are in Cassis or La Ciotat!
For 4 hours, you will have the pleasure of discovering corners of Cap Canaille inaccessible on a classic hike, on the cliffside thanks to a few abseiling descents of up to 30 metres and some very aerial ledges along the way. You will also have to negotiate a few easy climbing passages, as well as passages secured by ropes and cables, all alongside a professional instructor to guide you and ensure your safety.
Enjoy the thrills and spills of the Calanques National Park between La Ciotat and Cassis on this via corda course in the Soubeyranes cliffs at Cap Canaille!
