La Grave, France, Guided Ice Climbing

In the Hautes-Alpes area of France, there are many beautiful ski resorts to visit, especially in the winter. One of the nicest places however, and where we will go on this trip is La Grave. This small commune that has a population of less than 500 people rests underneath the majestic La Meije mountain (3,982m).

While La Grave is stunning to look at, it is also quite famous for its ice climbing, which we will be enjoying on this day trip. There are several different ice falls to choose from, ranging in height from 100 to 300 metres. They also range in difficulty as well. There are less taxing ice falls like La Gorge, and more difficult ones that are perfect for experts looking for a real challenge, like Diabolobite.

Before we choose which ice fall to climb, based on your level and desires, we will perform an equipment check. Once we reach the ice fall and start climbing, you will learn as you climb. You will practice skills that include learning how to properly utilise your equipment, how to properly position yourself on the ice fall, and much more.

Ice climbing in La Grave is unforgettable. And on this trip, my intention is for you to not only enjoy every minute of it, but to also learn as much as possible. So if you want to indulge in a memorable experience, please send me a request. It would be my pleasure to guide you.
