VIA FERRATA & INITIATION to ROCK CLIMBING :
​NEW SENSATIONS & THRILLS! 

Do you live in Geneva or in Haute-Savoie? Or have you planned a hollidays in the alps and wish to discover out-of-the-ordinary activities? Look no more, the suggestions below are must-do in the alpine range and great fun to share with friends and family.

VIA FERRATA, a fun activity to enjoy with family or friends

   "Via Ferrata" means "ironed way" in Italian: itineraries that make their way through rock cliffs are equipped with cables, stairways and such to make it accessible to all and ensure users' safety. On the contrary to what is commonly thought, via ferratas were not born in the Dolomites during the first World War, but were invented almost a century before in Austria, in a touristic purpose! 
    Today, it's a very amusing way to get acquainted with the vertical world, with simple techniques and logistics. The activity is appropriate to adults and kids over 6 years old who are fairly comfortable with hights.


Private engagement: Haute-Savoie or other areas on demand, from April to October. Guiding cost pending the length and difficulty of the itinerary. 1 to 8 persons per mountain guide.

Initiation to rock climbing

Rock climbing takes our focus back to body movements, as we once did as kids: we imagine new  ways to leverage our strength, visualize a path across the cliff, try and fail, try and succeed... 
Outdoors, the natural surroundings and the unique feeling of the rock will make of a day out climbing a relaxing and resourcing moment.
The climbing gym on the other hand offers a great place no play not matter what the weather is and a reassuring environment that will allow all to focus on climbing. 
This activity is appropriate to all adults and kids as of 6 years old or even younger.

Private guiding:
  • Initiation indoors in Wallis, 3h course (to share within participants) + cost of entrance to the climbing gym and equipment rental if needed. 1 to 4 participants, available all year round. 
  • Initiation to rock climbing outdoors in the Wallis, Vaud or Chamonix areas : 1/2 day or full day + transportation costs and equipment rental if needed. 1 to 4 participants, from April to October.
