Ice Climb­ing

This is a pretty high adren­a­line day out, combin­ing steep drops with a spectac­u­lar environ­ment — highly recom­mended! You can learn on the Mer de Glacé glacier, or on a frozen water­fall at Les Grands Montets. More experi­enced climbers may prefer to go through the tunnel for a day at Cogne, the ice climb­ing capital of the area. For anyone, I would recom­mend Neil Hitch­ings as a guide for ice climb­ing — details in the guides section
