Rock climbing
Vercors is often compared to a natural fortress surrounded
by cliffs.
In 1492, King Charles VIII instigated the worlds
first climbing expedition, which took place in Vercors.
Antoine De Ville, aristocrat and expert in the attack of castles
and defense walls, formed a squad and climbed Mont-Aiguille thanks to
wooden ladders fixed in the rock.
In the 1980's, Climbing is recognised as a sport in
its own right.
There are 2 techniques of climbing:
- Artificial rock climbing, the equipment ensures your security
