Céüse, Mountain climbing area in Hautes-Alpes, France
The limestone cliffs of Montagne de Céüse rise to 2016 meters, featuring more than 600 climbing routes along its horseshoe-shaped formation.
The mountain's name originates from Latin, referring to the flint stone characteristics that define its geological composition through centuries of formation.
Local climbing routes bear names that reflect both regional heritage and international influence, creating a multilingual tapestry across the mountain face.
Climbing season extends from April through August, with routes ranging from beginner level 4a to professional grade 9b+ across various sectors.
The cliff face exhibits distinct blue and ochre coloring in its limestone, containing numerous pocket marks rather than traditional climbing cracks.
