About Chamonix — Les Bossons

Granite blocks and short crag lines scattered through the shady sub-glacier woodland below the Bossons ice tongue, developed by the Chamonix club from the late 1990s. The dense forest canopy keeps the venue several degrees cooler than the open Gaillands lake shore on hot afternoons — genuine hot-weather refuge — but that same canopy slows drying, so give the boulders longer than the sun-exposed valley crags after rain. 15-minute walk up through the village from the bus stop.
