Climbing spots where you can climb in style
Chambéry Montagnesoffer a wide range of climbing sites, both natural and indoor. In the Bauges or in the heart of the Chartreuse massif, the crags welcome beginners and experts alike. And for climbing whatever the weather, head to bouldering or route climbing centres such as Wattabloc or Climb-Up: perfect spots to improve your skills or just have fun. A beginners’ site in Jarsy, bolted routes at the Col des Prés… here, you climb in the sunshine, with your feet in the grass and your head in the clouds. A picnic break with a view? It’s practically a must.
Via ferrata: an adventure on a rope
You don’t need to be a mountaineering pro to give the via ferrata a go! Clip into your lanyard, follow the cables and experience an adventure suspended between heaven and earth. The via ferrata at La Grotte à Carret offers a guaranteed thrill. Bonus: the breathtaking view over the valley as your reward. And for younger visitors, the Nant de Rossane beginners’ via ferrata is accessible from the age of 8 with a guide.
Nature, thrills and good humour

Whether with family, friends or accompanied by a qualified instructor, indoors or outdoors, every outing becomes an unforgettable adventure. Fancy booking your next climb? The visitor centres are here to help you get started.
