Ice climbing

When it's cold enough for the water to freeze, the mountain streams and resurgences that emerge from the rock eventually solidify.
Equipped with ice axes and climbing crampons, we can climb these magnificent draperies and columns sculpted by nature.
The guides are there to open the way to secret sensations!

For an introduction

The guides will introduce you to ice climbing.
Most of these activities are half-day sessions. During this introduction, you'll learn the basic techniques that are essential for climbing icy walls with greater ease.
They generally take place at two sites around Tignes.
The technical equipment is provided by the office, so all you have to do is get equipped to accompany us to these remote, secret and splendid corners of the world!
