Every year Chamonix hosts the IFSC Climbing World Cup, and some of the best climbers in the world descend on the resort for three days of fantastic climbing action.
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is now one of the world's major climbing venues, once again hosting the World Cup for speed and difficulty. Organised by the FFME (French Federation for Climbing and Mountaineering) and the Chamonix Club des Sports.
Standing at approximately 15m high and 6m wide, one wall is built for speed climbing and the other is built for lead climbing, each giving two climbing 'lanes' that measure 3m wide.
