Ice Climbing Ecrins Festival at Argentière-la-Bessée

Over time the ICE Festival has evolved significantly and this year, apart from the ice falls, there will be a host of different activities on offer that include dry tooling, ski touring, snowshoeing and freeriding. Workshops created in conjunction with the French Alpine Club (FFCAM) and the mountain guides workshops are designed for climbers of all skill levels, from beginners to experts, concentrated on subjects such as the use of safety equipment (avalanche transceiver / shovel / probe) search and rescue for avalanche victims, snowpack knowledge, alpine climbing preparation and much more.

ICE will take place from the 14th to the 17th of January 2016.
