Climbing areas around here include:
* Croix de Toulouse (multi-pitch, some single-pitch, and via ferrata)
* Randouillet
* Laus de Cervieres (quarzite)
* Gafouille
* Les Ayes
* Chamondrin (porphyry?)
* Casse de Prelles (quartzite)

Getting There
The city of Briancon is reached by major two-highways from the west, the northeast, and the south.
Driving from Marseille or Nice (like MRS + NCE airports) is fairly straightforward. Driving from northern or central France or the northern French Alps (like GVA + LYS + CDG airports) usually requires going over the Col du Lauteret pass. Driving from Torino Italy requires going over the Col du Montgenevre pass.
There is passenger railroad service to Briancon from the south like Marseille.
