Day 2 - Ice Climbing

A day of ice climbing to introduce the techniques of using ice axe and crampons, rope technique, belaying and mountain security.

The Champsaur and Valgaudemar valleys have the greatest variety and some of the best ice climbing in the Southern French Alps. Ice climbers and mountaineers come from all over the world to climb the famous routes, such as Le Voile de La Mairiee.

Depending on your experience and the conditions of the day we'll choose the most appropriate ice to get started on!
