Les Etroits gorges

The south-facing site of Les Étroits situated at the entrance to the village of Saint Étienne en Dévoluy is a remarkable climbing site.

Les Etroits gorges with the climbing site and via ferrata, Dévoluy, Hautes-Alpes

Magnificent and deep... admire the extraordinary fissure (40 - 60 metres deep, 2 metres wide) the river has carved into the rock.

Walls, fissures, overhangs, from 3a to 7b, this cliff-face school offers climbers a wide range of options, not to forget its ideal introductory routes for giving young children a taste of climbing.

A via ferrata has been created at the heart of the gorge… This 1,300 metre-long route is open to everyone. More than 50 metres above La Souloise, a 14 metre rope bridge lets you cross from one side to another.

The site of Les Étroits is also an introductory canyoning site where you can also learn abseiling techniques and gorge scrambling.
