Via Ferrata around Chamonix and Geneva
You are climibing a 600ft high cliff completely geared up with metal rungs. You are tied to a security cable that runs from tip to top in addition to a rope with which your guide belays you. You’ll cross wobbly cable, tree trunk bridges… It is the most secured alpine activity and a magic way to reach breathtaking heights.
This course is designed for non experienced people. The actual physical effort equals a moutain walk of about the same duration (2h30). Most of the climb happens on an 80° wall with some comfortable ledges and seldom vertical sections. The arm effort is the same as climbing on a ladder.
The toughest is in your head… While the first third allows us to quickly reach back the ground by abseilling, the only exit then is the top…
Minimum age is 12/13, but the most relevant criteria is a minimum 5 foot height and most of all a personnal will (and not only parents or friends) to take part to the trip.
Location : It’s here !
Price :56€ / pers.
Rock climbing in Chamonix
Group course :
During a whole morning, we will set the camp at the bottom of a rock face, where children will learn all about belaying techniques and the figure eight knot. Then, they’ll get to face heights climbing easy routes and maybe challenge themselves on an overhang…
A good climbing course always ends up with a nice abseil, an adventure rope track, or a zip wire ! Great fun and memories for some future climbers !
