OVERVIEW

This area is one of the most remote in France. It doesn't have any of the really big cliffs found in the Haute Savoie, but has a great variety of smaller cliffs that will appeal to a huge amount of mid-grade climbers. Not much of the area is below 800m, and with a lot of cliffs around the 1500m altitude, so it makes for lovely summer climbing. There are a great many good campsites in the area, and it is deservedly popular in holiday periods. Many of the smaller cliffs are pretty quiet. A highly rewarding area for those wanting quality locatioins. For those operating in the 7c and above, St Martin La Porte is a must visit location.
