Course Content:

We start the day on the sunny Brunni side with an introduction to via ferrata climbing. Via ferratas are ideal for getting closer to the rock without requiring advanced skills. The fun factor is high for all participants, making it a great activity for the whole family.

After a lunch break, we head to the climbing garden and focus on rock climbing. Our goal is to provide parents with all the key tips they need to climb independently with their kids. From our experience, climbing on real rock captivates children. It helps them build trust in their own bodies and boosts their self-confidence — all while having a great time!
