Introduction to rock climbing (Alsace)

Description

I offer introductory and advanced courses in rock climbing, allowing you to discover the most beautiful natural sites in Alsace!

Would you like to climb in spectacular environments? I offer guided trips to the iconic cliffs of Alsace: Gueberschwihr, Tanet, and Martinswand. These sites offer an exceptional natural setting, varied routes, and a unique atmosphere, surrounded by forests, granite, and red sandstone:

• Located about ten kilometers south of Colmar, Gueberschwihr is the largest sandstone cliff bolted for climbing in the Haut-Rhin department. There are about a hundred routes of all levels, up to 30 meters high and of all profiles. Popular since the 1960s, this cliff will satisfy climbers of all levels.
• A few kilometers from Munster, the Tanet high-altitude cliff is located in a magnificent and relaxing rural environment. There are around forty routes, mainly at levels 5 and 6, up to 40 meters high. The rock is cracked granite consisting of slabs and dihedrals. Everything you need for a great day of sport climbing is here.
• The Martinswand Rocks are the major site in eastern France, a few hundred meters from the Hohneck. Nearly a hundred routes, mainly grades 4 to 7, are marked out on the excellent granite of several sectors: Petit Cervin, Strassburgerwand, Martinswand, Petites voies, etc. The equipment is excellent and some routes are up to 80 meters high. You will love it!

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, you will enjoy a safe and friendly vertical experience.

Equipment to bring: clothing suitable for the weather, good shoes, a snack/picnic, water.
