Within just a few kilometres, there are several rock climbing sites including:

Sarp, situated 2km away, it is ideal for beginners, adults and children alike. In summer there are regular organised introductions to rock climbing. Grades range from 4b to 5c. This is also the starting point for the Barousse nature trail.

Troubat, major crag only 2km away, developed for competitions, on open SW-facing hillside with gorgeous views. Grades are mainly 6's to 8's, and the best are the harder ones.

Ore, small but nice woodland crag; mainly Grades 6 and 7, with some tufa.
