Chamonix Rock Climbing Courses
Explore the sport climbing and bolted rock routes around Chamonix.
The Chamonix valley offers a wide selection of high quality sport climbing crags and bolted multi-pitch routes for all levels of rock climbing.
Summertime Chamonix is a good option, compared to many other climbing destination in Europe, as we still have suitable temperatures for rock climbing at 1000m above sea level in July and August.
Chamonix Sport Climbing
Close to Chamonix town there are perfect spots to try out rock climbing and learn the basics. Lower down in Vallee de l’Arve we find big limestone walls, and in the Aosta Valley we have beautiful crags and pillars of solid gneiss to climb. This gives us the opportunity to do rock climbing courses at all levels, as well as guided multi-pitch climbs. We will work on both your climbing performance and the safety aspects of rock climbing.
Although famous for adventurous alpine rock climbs, Chamonix is in fact also ideal for beginner rock climbers.
