Chamonix is famous for Mont-Blanc and its snow and ice climbs, but during the summer months, it’s a whole different story. The snow melts and transforms the landscape into something else entirely. The perfect “Chamoniard” red granite, full of cracks, slabs and fantastic features, delights climbers of all skill levels.
In Chamonix, we have access to some of the best granite in the world, accessible to a lot of people with starting grades around 5a. There is such a wide range of routes that you can be picky and choose from a vast quantity and quality of rock climbing routes in a variety of grades and lengths to fit your timeline and requirements. Many of the routes have lift access, which hugely cuts down the approach time, and allows you to get considerably high. This opens the door to many more options.
We are waiting for you this summer.
