Rock Climbing Lessons
in Passy
On the south-facing slopes of Passy, the Plaine Joux crags offer an exceptional setting with a direct view of the Mont Blanc massif. Perfect for a family introduction or a progression session, with gear 100% included.
The crag
Plaine Joux, the climbing balcony
facing Mont Blanc
Perched on the south-facing slopes of Passy, Plaine Joux offers a rare panorama over the Mont Blanc massif, from Sallanches to Saint-Gervais. A spectacular setting that makes the session memorable from the very first route.
The rock suits beginners as well as climbers looking to progress: clean slabs for introduction, more technical sectors for progression. The south-facing exposure also allows climbing earlier in the season and later in the evening.
For families in Passy, Sallanches or Saint-Gervais, it's the chance for a first climbing experience just minutes away by road, set against high-mountain scenery.

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.
