Sport climbing

With more than 500 routes and thirty climbing sites, the region offers breathtaking climbs. In the heart of a grandiose setting, seasoned climbers will become the conquerors of a fascinating mountain. As for beginners, they will make their debut on outdoor walls dedicated to learning.

La Barme, a large rock which springs from the forest on the side of Saint-Christophe, offers numerous pinwheels from 4 to 7, or even more...
The moulinettes on the bell towers of the Pierre Avoi will allow beginners to learn this sport in a magnificent setting. The more experienced will be able to tackle harder routes; beware, few attempts will be possible, the rock is abrasive!
The Haut Val de Bagnes and its high altitude sectors offer the possibility to climb even in the middle of summer. About fifty routes are spread over four different sectors with poetic names: Tsè des Barmes, les Boutzes du Pleureur, les Minis Boutzes, Madzeira and le Bourrot. There are also a few routes on the side of Plamproz, below Fionnay, as well as at Sarreyer or at the Col des Gentianes.
Finally, the Sembrancher/Vollèges region completes the offer with several interesting sectors, such as Les Trappistes, Etiez, or Chemin-dessus.
