Il présente une partie "alpinisme" permettant de s'informer sur différentes techniques, des alpinistes célèbres et de "pratiquer" de façon virtuelle.
In the section climbs, interactive side is very present. You can see the mountains on all sewing. You can put yourself in a location of climbing and simulate his progress virtually. And technical equipment is well presented.
I fairly appreciated the visit, I found that there were not many beautiful stone to see.
