Ecrins National Park Mountain Climbing for Beginners

Situated just in front of the mighty Barre des Écrins, Roche Faurio is the perfect peak for first-time mountaineers to make their maiden ascent!

Boasting unbeatable views of the second-highest massif in France as well as its gorgeous alpine surroundings, there is no better way to conquer the mountain than as the conclusion of a 3-day course.

Beginning from a pre-determined location, we'll drive out to the trailhead first thing in the morning and hike up to the refuge. From here, we will go over all the necessary mountaineering skills to make it to the peak's summit.

Practicing how to use the equipment as well as going over necessary skills on the mountain, we will climb in the Glacier Blanc basin as well as to the summit of Pic du Glacier d'Arsine, enjoying stunning views throughout the trip.

The third day will be the highlight of our time together, as we get a pre-dawn start and slowly make our way to the top of Roche Fauri (3,730 m). After basking in the incredible views from the top, we'll head back down and meet the minibus for the conclusion of the trip.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this scenic and informative 3-day mountaineering course in the Ecrins that ends with an ascent of Roche Faurio!
