Mont Myrrha

Mont Myrrha is a sandstone mountain in Falaise featuring natural rock formations with vertical walls and faces. The stone composition creates distinct climbing surfaces and textures across the mountain's different sections.

The mountain sits near Château de Falaise, the birthplace of William the Conqueror, a defining moment in medieval history. This proximity connects the peak to major events that shaped Norman and English kingdoms.

The mountain serves as a gathering place for climbers from the surrounding area who come to practice their skills on its rock faces. This community has shaped how locals and visitors experience the outdoor sports culture of the region.

The site is accessible and route information is available at the Falaise Suisse Normande Tourist Office before your visit. Plan adequate time to explore different sections and choose routes that match your climbing experience and abilities.

The mountain's south-facing slope receives excellent sunlight, making it ideal for climbing throughout much of the year. This favorable positioning combined with diverse rock sections has made it a year-round destination for climbers of all levels.
