Apremont                                                    (Content)

In one week in November more than 30 new problems have been opened, most of them are sitting starts. They have been marked with chalk arrows and sometimes with chalk crosses on the starting holds.

Access: In Apremont drive past the small Restaurant in the forest and park on the first parking area on the left side. Walk almost straight into the area and go slightly to the left up the hill. The problems are in the area, where the red circuit has its numbers 21-27. For a better orientation, the red numbers 21, 22, 26, 27 are noted as R21, R22, R26 and R27 in the topo-map.
