Bornes Aravis Volume 2 rock climbing guidebook

Description

This guidebook describes 375 routes in the southern Bornes-Aravis area of the French Alps, of which the majority are multi-pitch routes. The area covered is around the towns of La Clusaz, Thones, and Ugine, to the west of Annecy

Most of the routes described in this guidebook are big multi-pitch climbs across a wide range of grades, at an altitude between 450m and 2,300m. The routes tend to be bolted but it is advisable to also take some trad gear as well.

In total the guidebook covers 375 routes that equates to 890 pitches across 29 crags. The guidebook is split into 4 main areas, which are Thones, Ugine, Aravis, and La Clusaz.

All the routes are shown on a mixture of colour photo topos and colour detailed topos along with a description. For each crag there is access information, a location map, and GPS co-ordinates for the parking areas. Symbols indicate the style of climbing to be found, altitude, crag orientation, and the best time of the year to climbing there.

Published in April 2020 this guidebook is in French text throughout but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols and easy-to-follow information.
