Further information(s) : Nice crag of initiation with around 30 routes bolted since 2010 by the club Roc and Vertige under the impulse of Marc PEJON with the support of the Departmental Committee. Routes are all bolted with pins with linked anchors. A sector is planned for the children with intermediary relays allowing the children to discover the activity. The routes in the 5th and in the 6th degre are equipped close together allowing a lead climbing with little danger. Its rock, of good quality, proposes a climbing in slab with holes and crimps. Routes are purged and checked but it is necessary to provide a helmet for stone falls. The foot of the wall rather flat and wide enough will accommodate families and climb safely in a beautiful setting overlooking Lake Bourget.

Access on foot: Cross the stadium by the alleys and take the wide path of Noirat, at the right angle, make a hole in the forest on the left, follow it, the path leaves on the left, follow it, it goes up, here you are.
In summer, it can be very hot during the day.
