Ravoire

International > Europe > Switzerland

Description

This is a very nice small crag in the small village of Ravoire above Martigny. It stays dry most of the time, and is therefore climbable much of the year, even in the winter (in fact, some climbs can even be climbed when raining due to the overhanging nature of much of the upper portion of the rock).. The rock is high-quality Gniess and the climbs are generally well-bolted and burly single pitch climbs (70m rope is recommended, though we managed everything we did with a 60m rope without any issues). There is a very nice restaurant / cafe located right across from the parking lot for an after-climb Fondue or beer.

A good topo is available in the free carnets d'escalade app on android.

Getting There

Park in the parking lot across from the Restaurant le feylet in revoire. With your back facing away from the restaurant, find the climbers trail just near the right edge of the lot... walk down the trail and descend the ladder to get to the climbs... about a 5 minute walk at the most.
