Climbing is a child’s play. In this activity you will find a complete and gentle sport, a school of solidarity and responsibility (your roped team). Vallouise and Ailefroide areas are full of small, intimate, varied, well-equipped and easy climbing sites. They allow the youngest among us to familiarize themselves safely with the vertical environment, without sacrificing anything to the playful side of the activity.

 Gesture and pleasure.
 Safety through the learning of techniques.
