Dedicate a whole day or even several days to climbing or via ferrata - so beginners can learn the basics quickly and experts can continue to improve. On top of that, participants have fun in a group. A climbing course or via ferrata camp is therefore an opportunity to get to know climbing or mountaineering and to expand your knowledge and experience. Whether young, old, beginner or advanced - there are climbing courses for everyone who wants to have fun on the mountain.
