Program

The area of the Calanques as a national park is not huge, and there will be no fixed itinerary. From Days 2 to 6, the group will climb every day in different locations depending on the weather, sun exposition, and grade of the participants.

Since their level is always different, Exped Tribe GmbH will need to choose the climbing "crag" flexibly, depending on what customers are able to climb, as well as depending on temperature and if it's sunny or if the rock is wet because it rained the days prior. They would hence recommend keeping it flexible on the itinerary.

Exped Tribe GmbH does its best to ensure that all participants will have an incredible adventure. They conduct expectation phone calls and pool participants who have similar expectations and abilities. They will also be happy to accept special requests.
