The marvellous French limestone crag Ablon.
Enrico Serafini
Ablon is an enchanting valley situated at 1400m on the Plateau des Glières in the France's Upper Savoy which conceals a small gem surrounded by forests, lush alpine meadows, grazing cows and a picturesque alpine hut where you can eat and drink. The crag, equipped primarily by Robert Durieux is truly memorable just like the routes themselves: prepare for battles on long, delicate climbs which require excellent footwork and balance rather than brute strength and where the run-outs are, at times, "generous" to say the least.
