Highlights

  • Spend a week climbing on big walls all around Ailefroide.
  • Marvel at the beauty of the Ecrins Massif in the French Alps.
  • Choose from a variety of great cracks and slabs.

Description

Located in the heart of the Ecrins massif in the Alps of France, Ailefroide is a lovely village. Surrounded by several peaks and positioned at the bottom of the Vallouise valley, it is truly picturesque. Moreover, it is also home to some amazing big walls that are perfect for climbing. And for a full week, you will get to visit, explore and enjoy those great spots.

There are all kinds of big walls to choose from around Ailefroide. There are large slabs, jagged needles, block courses that range from 200 to 500 meters, and much more. Thus providing you with an experience that will be different every single day.

While enjoyment is the prime objective throughout this trip, I also like to provide tips, advice, instruction and coaching whenever possible. On the slabs and cracks, I will teach you about relaying, rescue techniques and much more. As a result, I believe you will be a better climber at the end of the trip than you were at the beginning.

It is important that participants on this rock climbing trip around Ailefroide can climb at a minimum 5a level. You should also be able to climb on walls autonomously and be in good physical condition.

I have no doubt you will love rock climbing around Ailefroide. Furthermore, I think you will enjoy the village as well, from its people to the amazing scenery of the Ecrins Massif. Hence making this trip an all-encompassing adventure. To be a part of it, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

I also lead a week-long rock climbing trip at the cliffs of Bornes and Aravis in Haute-Savoie, which you can enjoy here.

What people are saying about E-S Adventure Guides

Lorenzo

Fantastic experience, the instructor Willy is very knowledgeable and capable, recommended experience

Catriona

It was such a fun experience, as beginners in just a few hours we got some really helpful tips to improve our bouldering in general, as well as a great explanation on how to navigate the Fontainebleau maze and confidence to boulder outside independently in future. Ivan obviously really cares about protecting the rocks and the forest environment, his enthusiasm and volunteering his time sets such a good example. Also it was really kind to help us with a good walking trail for after the session and make sure we set off on the right way.
