General information:

For the introductory climbing experience, you don’t need any prior climbing experience—neither on rock nor in a climbing gym. All you need to bring is curiosity, a desire to move, and the motivation to try something new.
Together with your guide, you’ll take your first steps on the rock, learn to belay responsibly, and develop a feel for movement on real rock.

The introductory climbing experience is suitable for children aged 6–7 and up who enjoy being active and are interested in climbing.

Try Climbing Day - Giornata di prova

We meet at 9:00 a.m. Depending on the location—Valle Argentina, Finale Ligure, or Val Pennavaire—you will receive the exact meeting point from us in advance.

From there, we head to the crag together. After a short introduction, you’ll put on your harness and start gaining your first experience on real rock. Step by step, you’ll make your way up—at your own pace. You decide how far you want to go. You’ll also learn the basics of belaying and take on your first responsibilities for your climbing partner. Your instructor will always keep a close eye on everything, so you can fully focus on yourself and the climbing.

With each attempt, you’ll become more confident, build trust, and gradually master even more challenging sections. There will be plenty of time for breaks in between—to eat, drink, relax, and simply enjoy the atmosphere together.

We’ll wrap up the day in a relaxed way between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.

And if you’re keen for more: with Climbing Liguria, you can continue with a 3-day beginner course and dive even deeper into the world of climbing.

Included:

  • One-day introductory course with a certified climbing instructor
  • All climbing equipment provided (harness, helmet, ropes, belay devices, etc.)
  • Equipment checklist to help you prepare
  • Insider knowledge & local expertise for the best course conditions
  • Individual attention thanks to small group sizes

Not included:

  • Travel and transfers
  • Accommodation
  • Meals (except for a small coffee at the crag 😉)
  • Personal clothing and gear (sporty attire suitable for the weather and temperature)
  • Climbing shoes, sturdy hiking shoes, or trainers – please make sure to bring these yourself!
To get the most out of your climbing day, we recommend staying near the course location. Options vary depending on the area:

Courses in Valle Argentina:

You won’t find large hotels or official campsites here, but there are plenty of charming alternatives. The best places to stay are in Badalucco, Molini di Triora, or Triora. Staying on the coast, e.g., in Arma di Taggia, is also possible – but it’s about a 45-minute drive to the climbing areas. We’re happy to help you find the right place.

Courses in Val Pennavaire / Oltrefinale:

Here, you can choose between the coast near Albenga or accommodations inland, e.g., around Vesallo or Colletta.

Courses in Finale Ligure:

Finale Ligure and Finalborgo offer a wide range of hotels, B&Bs, and apartments – from simple rooms to more comfortable stays.

Registration is made via www.climbingliguria.com or by email. By registering, you submit a binding offer to conclude a participation contract.

The prices stated at the time of booking apply. Discounted prices for participants up to and including 25 years of age are based on the participant’s age on the first day of the course.

By default, courses are in English and German – and if needed, we can cover the key points in Italian as well.
Basic fitness and good health are enough. You should be sure-footed and comfortable with heights. Approaches to climbing spots are usually short (5–20 minutes), but we spend the whole day outdoors – learning, climbing, and having fun.
Before the course, we’ll provide a full equipment list. Group gear like ropes, quickdraws, and belay devices are supplied. Climbing harnesses and helmets can be rented if needed. Important: Please always bring your own climbing shoes.
Bring your own snacks and drinks. Simple foods like sandwiches, fruit, and plenty of water work best – after all, we’re outdoors all day.
Most courses take place in Valle Argentina. You’ll receive the exact meeting point in advance – either directly at the climbing area car park or we’ll start together, e.g., at a café. For courses in Finale Ligure or Val Pennavaire (Oltrefinale), you’ll also get all the details about the meeting point in good time.
You organise your own travel and transfers. On site, we’re happy to arrange carpooling – practical and more sustainable.
On average, a course day lasts about 6 hours – with breaks included. Depending on weather, content, and motivation, it can be a bit longer or shorter.
It can rain even in Liguria. We plan the course days flexibly around the weather. If a section of the course can’t take place, we’ll make it up later, or you’ll receive a partial refund. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.
Participation is possible with written consent from a parent or guardian.
Want to bring someone along as a spectator? Just let us know in advance – usually no problem. If your companion is a dog, please inform us beforehand: some approaches aren’t suitable for dogs, and we also check with the group to make sure everyone is comfortable.
We recommend staying near the course location. Whether Valle Argentina, Finale Ligure, or Val Pennavaire – find relevant info under “Accommodation & Overnight Stay” for each course. Need help? Just get in touch!
