Chamonix Classic Rock Climbs

Summer in Chamonix offers the perfect playground for all kinds of rock adventures. On the one side of the valley there is the Aiguilles Rouges and on the other, the Mt.Blanc range.
Climbing in the Aiguilles Rouges Mountains is special. Touching the warm rock in T-shirt and shorts with the beautiful backdrop of Mt.Blanc and its massive icecap is an unforgettable experience.
On the other side in the Mt.Blanc range we find many classic alpine rock routes. Some of the world's most spectacular granite pillars raise right off the snowy glaciers here in Chamonix.
