Bérard ice fall site
Online booking mandatory for accessing the Bérard ice fall
The Bérard ice fall is a man-made site that requires significant development and maintenance work. A number of people also work throughout the winter to ensure ice production.
Access to the site is free, but to guarantee a place, a paid pre-reservation is recommended : €5 per person.
This financial contribution helps to maintain the site and ensures that a place is available.
In the event of heavy traffic, only visitors who have made a pre-reservation will be allowed to remain on the site.
Use of the site is solely and entirely your responsibility. Gear and ice climbing experience required
