Climbing
Chamonix is a world-class destination for climbing, from valley crags to high-alpine routes in glaciated terrain.
The climbing areas in the Chamonix Valley are particularly well suited to safe, guided climbing. Our crags at Les Gaillands and Argentière, suitable for all levels, let you get started or improve your technique. Our mountain guides and climbing instructors will teach you how to use essential equipment — harness, rope, quickdraws, and carabiners — as well as all belaying techniques: top-rope, anchors, and rappelling. You’ll also get to climb your first routes with increasing independence under professional supervision.
Chamonix also offers a wealth of high-altitude climbing areas — true alpine playgrounds for sport climbing on equipped multi-pitch routes or trad climbing routes. Lifts provide quick access to unique alpine terrain. The Chéserys, Vallon de Bérard, and the peaks accessible from the Flégère cable car offer countless routes and unforgettable climbs. The legendary Aiguilles de Chamonix, including the Aiguille du Midi, attract climbers from around the world seeking high-alpine climbing on exceptional granite. Take advantage of this extraordinary potential to climb routes that match your level and achieve your dream ascent.
