Niaux Valley – Génat, Sibada and Alliat
There’s a huge amount of climbing in the Ariege, featuring limestone and granite; single pitch valley cragging and bigger mountain adventures and to suit all tastes and abilities. The Niaux […]
Keep Calamès and Carry On Climbing!
Our onwards travels with our counter-intuitive escape from rain-soaked Spain took us to the Ariege in the French Pyrenees, just to the north of Andorra. The forecast promised a generally […]

A couple of return trips to places we’ve been before – albeit new sectors. I signed off my 2014 Santa Ana post with: Definitely somewhere we’ll return on future trips. […]
Valle de Isabena & Alins
Valle de Isabena runs parallel to and to the west of the main thoroughfare from Lleida to France – in fact Google maps routed us along it on the way […]
