In Pila, a sliver of mountain to climb: the new wall, fixed on a vertical face, is 6 meters high and has 5 climbing routes equipped with handholds that create itineraries suitable for all people of all ages who have the pleasure and curiosity to try their hand at a simple, exciting and ancient sport like climbing. Access to the cliff located near the Arbolle refuge is about an hour and a half’s walk from the arrival of the Pila-Chamolé chairlift, or in ten minutes from the refuge itself. The rocky structure where the climbing routes have been bolted is located on the eastern slopes of the Tête Noire, at an altitude of about 2550 meters. On the structure, which is on average 15 meters high, seven climbing itineraries have been created ranging from 5a to 6b, for intermediate level enthusiasts. The characteristics of the rock, the surrounding environment and the panorama that can be enjoyed from the site make it an attractive destination for those who want to spend a day in a mountain environment away from the confusion, in a place of wild beauty.
Possibility of group or individual courses for a fee upon reservation (info Interguide 0165 40939).
