The Narse rock delimits the Evosges plateau with imposing 200m high cliffs dominating the Albarine Valley. Since 2005 the site has been developed under the impetus of local climbing clubs and the Lyonnais club Hot Roc. The development continues so that this authentic site benefits all lovers of vertigo or nature fans.

The routes all bear poetic names such as "Retour aux sources", "Balade des étoiles" or the "Petit Prince", in homage to the adventurer St-Exupéry, who spent a joyful childhood in this sector of Bugey. A real invitation to vertical travel!

Initiation sector and long routes, everyone will find their height among the 60 pitches between 4 and 7c. Good plan to make efforts while staying cool: many routes are in the shade in the afternoon in summer.

A topo guide of the Roche de Narse is available by post on request from Eric Chaxel (Equiilbre Vertical), at the bakery in St-Rambert-en-Bugey or from Bugey Plaine de l'Ain Tourisme.
The cliff is located on land belonging to the municipality of Argis and is the subject of an agreement. The sector is also a sensitive natural area. Thank you for respecting the local residents and the environment by being discreet and by taking your waste away.

WARNING: Wearing a helmet is MANDATORY at the bottom and in the routes. An accident could jeopardize access to the site.
