Meeting Point

Arrive at the climbing gym about ten minutes before the course starts – plenty of time to check in, change, and securely store your belongings. Then your climbing instructor will greet you directly in the gym, explain the schedule, and provide you with the necessary equipment: climbing shoes, harness, and belay device.

Climbing

The session begins with a playful introduction to the world of climbing – perfect for children and anyone standing at the wall for the first time. The focus is on safety, trust, and initial movement experiences. During the group bouldering, you will discover the joy of climbing close to the ground: without ropes, but with soft mats and helpful tips from the guide.

Next, it is on to the higher walls. You will learn how to use auto-belay devices which are easy to operate and safe. Those who wish can try rope climbing. The instructor will belay you and help you find your own rhythm.

After two hours of concentrated family time, you return the equipment. If you are still eager, you can continue bouldering afterward – children under 16 only with supervision. This leaves room to deepen what you have learned and let the family experience wind down in a relaxed way.

General weather info

Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.

Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.
