About Servoz

40m layered schist wall at the exit of Servoz on the old road towards Chamonix — a stepped, easy-angled lower section with a slightly overhanging upper part. Because it's schist the foliation planes hold water, so the wall stays greasy longer after rain than the surrounding gneiss and granite crags — trust the drying model here more than at Gaillands. West-facing means morning shade and afternoon sun. Popular fallback when the higher Chamonix crags are still damp: 8km down-valley at 800m the microclimate is often milder in shoulder seasons.

Region: Chamonix Valley
Rock type: Schist
Aspect: west-facing
Altitude: 800m
