Sites in limestone. Wonderful view over the Mont-Blanc mountain range. Difficulty : 4b to 6b+ for Larses and 5b to 7a for Barmus.
South facing cliff, dries very quickly.
For children, the ground is stony and a little chaotic, but without a dangerous ravine. Well equipped routes to start in the lead.
