Plateau d'Assy, 74190 Passy
A south-facing limestone site in the Sancellemoz communal forest, managed by the Office National des Forêts, where the climbing is mainly on slabs, adherences and rulers. Some bolts are equipped with quickdraws.
The site was developed by the commune with the help of a mountain guide, and the boulders are identified by sculptures that are part of Passy's artistic dynamic.
