Wat ga je doen?

Tijdens deze trip staat gezelligheid en samenhorigheid centraal. We willen een weekend waarin mensen vanuit de LHBTIQA+ gemeenschap elkaar kunnen ontmoeten en een fijne tijd kunnen hebben, maar dan op de rotsen! We gaan sowieso klimmen en er is de mogelijkheid om een Via Ferrata te doen.

Niveau & Verwachtingen

Vanwege de wellicht ruime verschillen in niveau zorgen we ervoor dat we naar gebieden gaan die voor iedereen leuk zijn! Én als je nog geen of weinig klimervaring hebt, is er ook de mogelijkheid je klimvaardigheidsbewijs te behalen!

Volledig Verzorgd

Wij verzorgen vanuit ons basecamp een heerlijk ontbijt, lunch, avondeten en een plekje om een tent te pitchen. Heb je geen tent, bij ons kan je een popup tentje huren die we voor je opzetten. Ook hebben wij heerlijke drankjes tijdens een avond ontspannen en napraten met de rest van de deelnemers.

Waar ga je heen?

De uitvalsbasis van deze trip ligt op Camping Villatoile, in een prachtige vallei van de Ardennen. De activiteiten vinden plaats in één of meerdere prachtige klimgebieden in de Ardennen, zoals Pont-à-Lesse, op loopafstand van het basecamp. Andere gebieden liggen doorgaans op 25 min rijden vanaf ons basecamp bij camping Villatoile. Vervoer hiernaartoe is op eigen gelegenheid; uiteraard stellen we samen een carpool schema op.

This weekend we climb in the beautiful surroundings of the Belgian Ardennes!

Programme

At the base camp, you will enjoy great vegetarian meals and sociable evenings with games and good conversations. On Saturday and Sunday, we head out to beautiful climbing areas in the surroundings.

Day 2

Saturday - heading to Pont-à-Lesse

We start the day with an extensive breakfast at the campsite. Then you walk with the instructors to Pont-à-Lesse, where we begin the day at the rocks. Already experienced? Then you can get started independently here. People with little or no experience will receive an introduction to climbing this morning. At lunchtime, we eat at the rocks, and in the afternoon there is time for more climbing — the instructors also have time to give tips to more experienced climbers if they want them! When we are all back down on the ground, we walk back to the campsite for a well-deserved evening meal. After dinner, we round off the day with a drink, a game or a dip in the river.

Day 3

Sunday - More climbing & Via Ferrata!

We start the day again with breakfast at the campsite. Then we head out for the last time this weekend to climb! In this area there is the option to climb, do a via ferrata, or both! For people who do not yet have a climbing certificate, this is the chance to earn one. The instructors have taught you how to belay — if you can now do this independently, you may walk away with the KVB-IT in hand and from now on be allowed to climb in climbing gyms too!
