Pic Saint-Loup

Experience rappelling and hiking in a majestic setting: Pic Saint-Loup. Our local Everest, culminating at 658m, is a true adventure. This activity requires a minimum of endurance and concentration. If you are athletic, love new experiences, and are seeking new thrills, this activity is for you.

A certain level of fitness is required, but the route remains very accessible to motivated individuals.

This hike is a must in the region. The ideal seasons for this activity are spring and autumn.

The rappelling hike is a mix of several activities that requires a certain level of endurance and concentration. As its name suggests, you will be hiking, especially during the approach phase to reach the summit. These approach walks are quite steep and interspersed with aerial climbing sections that are not very difficult but require concentration. Then, in the second phase, the rappelling descent constitutes the core of the activity.

After a lunch break at the summit of the Pic, we begin the descent, which consists of 5 successive rappels alternating with walking sections. The first rappel is disorienting as you descend through the bowels of the earth. A headlamp will be provided by us to illuminate your way. After traversing under the earth of the Pic, you will emerge directly onto the North Face of the Pic. From there, you will complete 4 more rappels, including a 50m spider-line rappel.

To fully enjoy this unique day safely, Naturéo Sport & Aventure provides you with a harness equipped with a double lanyard, a helmet (with headlamp), a descender, and an autoblock for the rappelling descent. Your guide will brief you on safety and rope descent techniques.
