Eagle Channel

Eagle Channel

Reach Staffal, the terminus of regional road 44, and leave your car in the large car park. Take the Gabiet cable car, and near the exit, join trail no. 6a. Close to a mountain hut under construction, leave the trail and head north-northeast into a high valley, where the crag (located at 2880m) forms the left bank. A beautiful one-hour walk and you are sure to enjoy a wonderfully cool climb!
