Crag features

Following a municipal order of July 27, 2022, climbing at St Sauves is forbidden until further notice due to safety concerns. Local climbers are trying to negotiate with the authorities for the future reopening of the site. 

Excellent granite crag featuring large roof. The majority of routes finish below the roof although some take a direct line through it.

A lot of routes stay dry in the rain.
