Climbing

Discover the new climbing site at Grande Dixence!

Parking area:

This small cliff of greenschist with a SW exposure is located at the exit of the tunnel leading to the foot of the Grande Dixence Dam.

It is ideal for families and beginners because of its closely clustered fixtures, its easy access and the large open area at the bottom.

Climbing exposes climbers to certain dangers and everyone is responsible for their own safety.
