For the climber, Grenoble is perfectly located, at the crossroads of the limestone massifs of Vercors, Chartreuse and Belledonne. The crags span from the urban sites suitable for the climbing session just after work to multi-pitch routes in high altitude; there is something for everyone and at all levels.

We offer digital guidebooks of sport crags and multi-pitch routes equipped by the bolter association ECI (Escalade Club de l’Isère) team members. These sites are targeting a wide audience of climbers and are therefore not too elitist.

Through your purchase of this guidebook, you are contributing directly to funding of the in-situ equipment at the climbing sites.

HOLD IT! This guidebook is not fully available for purchase, but the crags can be bought individually.
