The Vallon de Saleina is a remote alpine valley above Praz-de-Fort, surrounded by granite peaks and glaciers that form part of the Mont Blanc Massif. Its climbing sector offers high-quality granite routes, ranging from single-pitch sport climbs to long multi-pitch and alpine routes. The rock is clean, solid, and beautifully textured, ideal for technical movement and traditional protection. The valley’s quiet atmosphere makes it a perfect escape for climbers seeking solitude and pure alpine adventure. Approaches begin near the Cabane de Saleina (2,691 m), offering both basecamp comfort and quick access to routes. With its wild character, sweeping glaciers, and untouched beauty, Vallon de Saleina captures the true spirit of climbing in the high Alps.
