Description
When the cold persists, the streams congeal and invite us in their frozen meanders.
In the heart of the Aravis massif, the valleys of Thônes near Annecy in Haute-Savoie offer a multitude of ice falls suitable for both initiation and improvement.
Let yourself be tempted by a day of discovery of this activity on the spot best suited to your level, from the ruisseling (climbing a frozen stream) to ice falls more or less vertical.
