Further information

The via cordata is a route equipped in a rock face in order to be able to move more easily.

It is an intermediate activity between classic hiking and climbing. Using rope techniques such as rappelling, roping on turns and climbing, this half-day excursion will take you to the heart of the creeks where few people venture.

This course is affordable for beginners without any particular climbing knowledge.

Located on the route des crètes between La Ciotat and Cassis, the Philémon crossing, characterized by a magnificent view of the sea and the surrounding cliffs, is ideal for a sporting adventure with family or friends.

The abseiling of more than 90 m, will not fail to leave you thrills!

Come and discover the recesses of the creeks, a very wild space and majestic landscapes await you.

The duration of the activity is 4 hours.

No need to put on the climbing shoes that some dread, this route is done in sneakers or hiking shoes.

Excellent experience on a gorgeous day. Guide Gillaume went above and beyond. I would give ten stars.
This is not for beginners. And you’ll need a lot more water than you think.
