climbing guidebook Cote d Azur

Areas of Cote d´Azur / French Riviera

This great climbing guide presents such well-known areas as Sainte-Victoire, Les Calanques, Toulon area, Châteauvert, Châteaudouble, Verdon Gorge, Massif de l'Esterel, Gorge du Loup, Saint-Jeannet and Monaco.
This Rockfax guide is also a selection guide, i.e. the included climbing areas are partly described only in extracts. If you are looking for a comprehensive climbing guide for a single area, it is therefore better to look for the respective local guide. Even if not all routes have found a place in this guide, you can be sure that the important sectors are guaranteed to be included.
Very clearly arranged guide.
All walls are described in detail via pictograms (e.g. protection, orientation, hours of sunshine, wind, number of visitors) - for the individual routes additional information on climbing style, length and enjoyment factor is provided. The clarity of the topos is very good. Overlaid on top of super color photographs, they are very easy to read throughout. The guide is illustrated with many photos. In addition, there is plenty of information on lodging, food and drink, transportation, and other activities.
Overall, a very content-rich and clear climbing guide.
If you are looking for a climbing guide beyond this selection guide, which describes an area completely, then you will find a plenty of area guides in our France selection.
