Rock Climbing in August

Widely regarded as one of the finest sport climbing destinations in the world, Céüse's 1,600m band of grey-white limestone holds an extraordinary concentration of hard, sustained routes. Climbers travel from every continent to project at sectors like Berlin Wall and Biographie — but the 600+ routes include enough mid-grade lines that the mountain rewards a full range of ability. The 1.5-hour approach walk along a forested ridge filters out casual visitors.
