Description

This is a very nice climbing area above Martigny. Climbs are all single pitch on good quality gneiss. The climbs are a mixture of styles. The area is easily accessed from the road.

Getting There

From Martigny drive to the village of Chemin. At the end of the village take a sharp right turn into a small road called Le Côteau. Park near a small garage where the hiking trail for Vens starts. Follow the trail for 200m until you reach a path that descends on your right (marked with a climbing sign). The path takes you to the ridge of the cliff. On the left side of the cliff there are fixed ropes to descend (again marked with a cam).
