Venosc

Ecole d'escalade des Ougiers

The latest climbing school in Oisans is "a site that will get people talking" as promised by the FFME (French Mountain and Climbing Federation)! Around forty routes in the sun...
This is a well-executed equipment job with a site where all types of climbers will find somewhere to put their shoes: on a slab, vertical wall or overhang. Where you can climb in the cool or in full sun. But also, because the CAF Oisans (French Alpine Club), which equipped the site voluntarily, was patient in following environmental and administrative instructions. Result: a site that will see its rating soar!
