Rock climbing in Briançon - Fun Program  
   
   
The Dauphine is located in the southern end of the French Alps, the last massif crowned by prestigious peaks such as la Meije and la Barre des Ecrins. We like visiting this area in winter for the endless runs surrounding la Grave, but we propose you here a new program to discover in summer this beautiful national park. We will be climbing in the Vallouise area. Ailefroide, this small remote mountain resort with a very unique athmoaphere will be our base for the first three days. We will then drive around the massif into the Bérarde valley that also offers unlimited climbing possibilities. The rock is a solid granite, the lodging is comfortable, all ingredients for an unforgettable experience.
