Climbing Instructor Annemasse
Outdoor courses on the Salève
The Salève is one of the most accessible climbing crags in France from Annemasse and Geneva. Join an introduction or a progression session after work or at the weekend.
The crag
Climbing Instructor Annemasse
the Salève crag
With its limestone cliffs overlooking the Geneva plain, the Salève is an exceptional climbing venue: routes for all levels (3a to 8b+), compact and grippy rock, and access from Annemasse in under 20 minutes.
Unlike Chamonix granite, the Salève's limestone features smaller holds and a different technical style: finger strength, precise footwork, using pockets and edges. It's ideal terrain for developing pure technique and progressing quickly.
For residents of Annemasse or Geneva, it's the opportunity to climb on weekday evenings without travelling across Haute-Savoie. I offer late-afternoon slots adapted to professional schedules.

Your instructor
Alexis, climbing instructor in Chamonix
Qualified — Pro Card N° 07419ED0284
A passionate climber since childhood, I turned that passion into a profession by earning a Sports Science Degree (STAPS) specialising in Climbing and my official state instructor card, issued by the French Ministry of Sports.
I guide climbers of all levels — from first-time climbing introductions and family outings to advanced athletes looking to break technical plateaus. My goal: that you leave every session with real progress and genuine enjoyment.
Every outing is prepared carefully: site inspection, gear check (harnesses, helmets, rope, carabiners, quickdraws), weather assessment. Safety is the foundation of every session.

Insurance & liability
I hold Professional Liability Insurance (RC Pro) covering all my instructing activities. Participants must have personal insurance covering outdoor rock climbing. If you don't, let me know when booking — I can arrange cover through my own RC Pro policy.
