Freissinières ****

A nice trail leads through the pines to the different sectors, which are spread across this giant wall. In the “Clematites Sector, expect technically challenging face climbs on great limestone. The “Vaudois” Sector is the place for the climber who just can’t get enough, since you can climb here even if it rains. The “Pilier de la St. Jean” is the area multipitch classic. The inspirational “Paroi du Plan” Sector on the right side of the wall has outrageously nice featured rock. Expect more run outs and less bolts in the upper reaches of the wall, however.
