Climbing and mountaineering

Home My outdoor activities Climbing and mountaineering

Kingdom of Rock and Ice We’ll take you up there!

Here, the walls are close to the sky and the peaks tell stories of rope teams, light and rock. In the Pays des Écrins, climbing takes on its full meaning: granite, limestone, boulders, multi-pitch routes, sunny rinds or sharp ridges — everyone finds their own line, their own rhythm, their own route. A land of contrasts and verticality, this territory at the gateway to the National Park is the second Mecca of mountaineering in France, just behind Mont-Blanc, but without the crowds.

Accessible glaciers, peaks over 3,000 m, authentic refuges and passionate guides make the Pays des Écrins an ideal base camp. Whether you are a beginner climber, a thrill seeker or a seasoned mountaineer, you will find a variety of adventure areas here: alpine races, technical climbing, the high mountains in their purest form. Mountaineering or climbing, the choice is yours!
