Avec vue sur la mer - Presles

A little gem, a true masterpiece of Mediterranean granite sport climbing.

Contamine - Pointe Lachenal
TD+, 6a+ max.
Great cassic trad route, long, always interesting and well-protected. The face receives the sun and is fairly sheltered from the wind. Climbing is therefore possible from mid-spring onwards, and is best combined with a magnificent ski to Chamonix down the...
