Ice climbing
Ready to tackle the waterfalls?
Are you keen to try out another aspect of mountaineering? Give ice climbing a try!
Armed with ice axes and spiked shoes, tackle winter’s frozen waterfalls and torrents. Ice climbing is a way of exploring some exceptional sites and enjoying the ephemeral beauty of the frozen waterways, suspended in time. The sport is obviously highly dependent on weather conditions and is usually enjoyed from late December to late February.
A rich and thrilling experience!

Located above the hamlet of Le Buet, the Bérard icefall is entirely man-made. It is maintained every evening by a team of volunteers.
This mountain activity requires a very good knowledge of the environment, or the supervision of a mountain guide.
Outings are offered by mountain professionals to discover this activity.
