Briancon Climbs

This is a comprehensive guidebook covering rock climbing in the Durance Valley around the towns of Briançon, Ailefroide, La Vallouise, L’Argentière-la-Bessée, and Guillestre. The Durance Valley is located in the Hautes-Alpes near Grenoble, an area sometimes referred to as the Southern Alps or the Écrins.

The guidebook describes 11 separate climbing areas and 100 major crags, ranging from single-pitch and multi-pitch sport routes to long classic alpine ascents up to 600m in length. The 11 main areas are Vallée de la Clarée et Vallée Étroite, Vallée de la Guisane, Briançon, Vallouise, L’Argentière-la-Bessée, La Roche de Rame, Freissinières, Vallée de Tramouillon – Saint-Crépin, Guillestre, Queyras, and Embrunais.

All routes are illustrated with either full-colour photo topos or topo diagrams, with French grades used throughout. At the start of each crag there is a location map, access information, and GPS coordinates for the parking area. Symbols are also used to show the grade range, orientation, best time of year to climb, maximum route height, climbing style, rock type, and walk-in time from the car.

Published in March 2026 (revised 14th edition), this guidebook features text in both French and English throughout.
