Etages

A granite gorge below the village of Les Etages, reached by a footbridge and often combined with nearby Lanchatra or the Diable in the same Ecrins valley. Glacier melt keeps the water fast and cold, and escape options once you're in are few.

RopeWiki's own trip notes put the window anywhere from August through December depending on snowmelt and rain, wider than the October and November stored here. The water is glacial and, per the same notes, always cold: expect to want a full wetsuit.
