réserverA BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TRIP
Expérience/Spot d'exceptionDo you know how to climb at the top? Come and discover the perfectly equipped main roads or the magnificent classics... we will give you the keys for a weekend high up. To complete a main route is to reach a summit that will be between 100 and 200 meters here, by dividing its ascent into several stages, called relays.
At each relay you will learn how to manipulate the rope to get to safety, get your second one up, then start again to attack the next relay. Once at the top, the descent will be done on foot or by abseiling.
You will travel splendid itineraries on Cap Canaille, the summit of Candelle, the summit of Candelle, the Marseilleveyre massif, the Goudes or even Sormiou facing the Riou Islands.
We will offer you a selection of major routes adapted to your level and your expectations.
Height and verticality will arrive gradually to give you time to become familiar with the elements. We will be able to discuss the installation of jammers, techniques to help the second person, escape routes during the weekend. Thanks to a large number of practice sites, we will be able to optimize weather conditions by climbing in the shade, or in the sun.

The purpose of this note is to present to you the form of mountaineering practice that we offer during our various mountaineering or climbing courses in high mountains.
UCPA is a mountaineering and high mountain school. Our objective is to bring participants to a controlled and responsible practice of mountaineering, each at their own level, during and after the course.
To do this, our courses are organized around the learning of techniques and principles of evolution in mountains.
This approach involves evolutions in “autonomous” teams where the trainee-participants implement safety techniques, learned beforehand. The rope then evolves without being systematically connected to a guide by a rope. These evolutions into “autonomous” teams are carried out under the guidance of the guide, which determines the modalities of these evolutions according to the level of the trainee-participants and the conditions in the field.
The trainee-participant in a mountaineering or high-mountain climbing course undertakes to accept the form of instruction offered and certifies having read this information.
