3 Reasons

A Mighty Challenge

Mountain climbing Ailefroide is tough, thrilling and rewarding, with its high altitude and tricky terrain of rock, ice and snow contributing to this. It is is however a beautiful climb, and its status as the 3rd highest peak in the Dauphine Alps ensures it is a bucket-list item for all serious mountain climbers.

Beautiful Scenery

Ailefroide towers above its namesake village, and is nestled within a relatively quiet, isolated region of France. This ensures the landscape, scenery and terrain of the mountain and its surrounds remains in pristine condition, with little impact from the modern world. The tranquil green forests that surround the area are quintessentially French.

Excellent Conditions

The mountain climbing conditions when undertaking a climb of Ailefroide are at their best from July-September, when the weather is warmest and the snow and ice is less prevalent. The temperature in this time is generally perfect for climbing, and the rocky terrain is more sure under foot due to the drier conditions.
