Introduction to rock climbing
6-12
The ultimate weekend getaway, relax and enjoy climbing the rocks! The introduction to rock climbing focuses on fun and, of course, the rocks. We climb in the beautiful area of Pont-à-Lesse, the ideal place to start climbing outdoors. The massifs offer stunning views of the Lesse Valley.
What are you going to do?
A weekend of outdoor climbing; what more could a climber want? Join us on one of our weekends to the Ardennes, where we'll teach you the basics of rock climbing. During this weekend, there is also the possibility to get your indoor toprope climbing skill certificate.
Why this course
During this weekend, you can get your Indoor Toprope climbing skill certificate (KVB-IT), but outside on the rocks! Oh yes, and of course it's really fun while you're busy with your fellow students in the beautiful Ardennes.
Where are you going to climb
The course takes place in one or more beautiful climbing areas in the Ardennes, such as Pont-à-Lesse, within walking distance of the base camp. Other areas are usually 25 minutes' drive from our base camp at Villatoile campsite. Transportation here is on your own; of course, we will set up a carpool schedule together.
Fully cared for
From our base camp, we provide a delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and a spot to pitch a tent. If you don't have a tent, you can rent a pop-up tent from us that we'll set up for you! We also have delicious drinks during an evening of relaxing and chatting with fellow students.
