Do you feel like climbing in a fine alpine environment in a secluded place? Do you like routes with more than one length? If you have answered no even to only one of these questions, don't go to
Nid des Hirondelles and make for the dam farther down the valley, instead. This is not a wall but a very indented structure where climbing offers unforgettable sensations thanks to a great exposure and to fine technical passages. Don't miss this corner of paradise.
