Description

I propose a 4-day course dedicated to rock climbing and via ferrata to delight your teenagers in the beautiful Chamonix valley in Haute-Savoie! 🌞

The "vertical teen course" allows them to practice climbing (on single pitches as well as multi-pitch routes) and via ferrata in a small group of 4 participants aged 12 to 16.

The course is confirmed once 3 people have booked. In the event of cancellation (due to bad weather or insufficient numbers), your 100€ deposit will be refunded.

I also offer climbing sessions in the Chamonix valley, mini multi-pitch climbs on the Gaillands cliff in Chamonix, and an evening suspended on the cliff in Les Contamines-Montjoie for you or your family.
