Fantastic climbing areas, located a little higher (between 800 and 2500 m above sea level) and therefore well suited for the hot days, in the valley "Val Durance". These areas are located on the French-Italian border around the towns of Briancon, L'Argentière and Guillestre. Different types of rocks are waiting here for the climber in a small area. Single pitches, multi-pitches, horizontal to overhanging walls and the different exposures of the sectors do not stand for monotony, but for pure variety!The climbing guide is clearly structured, has very good location sketches, color photo topos and expressive pictograms, which really bring all the information to the point.For its 14th edition, the new guide-book "Briançon Climbs" 2026 contains several novelties. Its layout has been modified a little, 14 new sectors have been added, and each climbing site has been updated with the opening or removal of tracks since 2022. New feature : the GPS coordinates of the parking are now displayed in our book as well as the updated access maps, in addition we have put online this year an interactive map of the sites. The topo covers several regions: the Vallée de la Clarée and Vallée Etroite, the Guisane Valley, Briançon, Vallouise, L'Argentière-La Bessée/ Ailefroide, La Roche de Rame, Freissinères, Tramouillon-Saint Crépin Valley, Guillestre, Queyras and the Embrunais. Climbing sites are often high in altitude. It was favored the opening of new sites on the North face for the summer climb. With this topo, you discover a department where nature is still preserved.
