Everyone who likes the Mountains & Climbing should experience Ailefroide in SW France’s Ecrin Massif. Beautiful location, generally more guaranteed summer weather & loads & loads of climbing.
Located in the High Dauphiné Alps, the beautiful small and rather quiet village of Ailefroide at 1515 metres is located in the 2nd biggest French mountaineering area after Chamonix, nestled at the foot of the Mont Pelvoux ( 3946 m ) in the Ecrins massif.
In the climbing world, Ailefroide is renowned as one of the most beautiful natural climbing spots. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, whether you prefer long routes or boulders, without doubt you’ll find your ‘piece of cake’. From the campsite you will have access to more than 800 climbing lengths. Granite walls and slabs.
I took this from the link below. It tells you everything you need to know really but I’ve added more information and links bellow.

Many of the routes are between 200m and 300m long and graded between F5a to F6c. The vast majority of the routes are well bolted. In total there are over 120 multi-pitch routes between 150m and 500m long across 22 sectors that face all directions so it is always possible to find the sun or the shade.
In addition to the multi-pitch routes, Ailefroide has a further 13 sport climbing areas with over 250 single pitch routes between F3c and F8a.
