As is the case with speleology, this department seems to be heaven for rock climbing. With over 20,000m of climbing routes spread over some 18 natural sites, the Lozère has all sorts of climbs to offer, from the granite walls of the Haut Chassezac Gorges, or the shaly cliffs of Saint Julien du Tournel, to the limestone faces of the Tarn and Jonte Gorges.
The sport is open to all, regardless of your level. Experienced climbers may engage in the solo ascent of vertiginous cliff faces, while others may benefit from the experience of guides and trainers for their initiation climbs.
There are many clubs and professionals that offer initiation courses or advanced training sessions and provide the necessary facilities. During the initiation courses, various aspects are explained: knowledge and preparation of equipment, top roping techniques, knots, belaying techniques, basic techniques, and knowledge of the surroundings.
