Mountain guide Marc Vanpé

Description

With my mountain guide diploma, I can take you to discover the natural riches of the eastern balcony of the Vercors through a wide range of activities, whatever the season.
Alone, in a group or with your family, for a half-day or a whole week, I can put together a program of varied activities adapted to your physical abilities.
- Mountain biking, VAE: let's work together on riding techniques on the most beautiful itineraries on the eastern balcony of the Vercors, or organize a multi-day touring raid.
- Canyoning: thrill and refreshment guaranteed in the Moules Marinières canyon just a stone's throw from my home, or in another Vercors canyon.
- Mountaineering: climb to the summit of the mythical Mont Aiguille in the footsteps of Antoine de Ville in 1492, traverse the famous Gerbier ridges between sky and rock or penetrate the bowels of the Vercors high plateaux through the great Parquet rock fault.
- Hiking: bivouac or day hikes to discover the exceptional flora and fauna of the Vercors high plateaux.
- Climbing: try out or perfect your skills at one of the many sport climbing sites, try out the originality of climbing on specially prepared trees or try your hand at the legendary routes of the Vercors or Dévoluy.
When the snow arrives:
- Go snowshoeing in the footsteps of wildlife, build an igloo, learn to handle avalanche transceivers, shovels and probes...
- Discover ski touring on the gentle slopes of the Baconnet rock, or tackle more serious hikes with the advice of a guide who knows the area inside out.
- Cross the Hauts Plateaux de Vercors by ski touring, Nordic ski touring or snowshoeing, I'll find the right itinerary for you.
- Try your hand at ice climbing on the base of Mont Aiguille or on the Pas de l'Aiguille waterfall.
-Try your hand at winter mountaineering (which doesn't have to be difficult) on one of the many itineraries on the eastern barrier of the Vercors.
During all these activities, three leitmotivs: respect for the natural environment, good humor and teaching.
I'm accredited by the French Ministry of Education for hiking, snowshoeing, mountain biking and climbing...
I'm also happy to work with you on your dream projects.

Sustainable tourism

I never tire of learning more and more about the fragile nature in which we operate. Sharing this knowledge will certainly be at the heart of our outing, and we'll be minimizing our impact in the process.
I'll also be happy to advise you on how to reach me without a car, how to eat good, local food, and how to find authentic accommodation...

Host portrait

Born in Grenoble, I was fascinated by the surrounding mountains from an early age. Becoming a mountain guide and building a straw-bale house in a small mountain village between Vercors and Trièves were a logical next step. Today, I prefer local activities because I love "my" mountains and it's in the relationship with my customers that I find the essence of my profession.
