Who is this for?

This day is for:

  • Climbers and mountain lovers curious to try ice climbing for the first time

  • Participants with some previous rock climbing or mountain experience

  • Those looking to build technical skills and take their first steps towards greater autonomy in winter mountains

  • People comfortable in the mountains and happy to learn how to use crampons and ice axes

  • Those able to handle several consecutive days of mountain activity in cold conditions

    You should feel comfortable with long days outdoors and have a reasonable fitness base.

    You don’t need any previous ice climbing experience, and you don’t need to have led a rope team. We’ll teach you the basics from the ground up, but some familiarity with climbing or the mountain environment will help you get the most out of the camp.
