Rock climbing Summer rock climbing course ages 6-8

Rock climbing course in Chamonix for ages 6-8

Designed for children aged 6 to 8, this rock climbing course helps them progressively develop their technical skills while gaining independence and confidence. They learn to put on their equipment and tie in correctly, discover belaying techniques and develop their backup belaying skills, an essential step towards becoming a reliable climbing partner. As they gradually climb higher, children learn to use their feet and hands effectively. They also develop their communication skills by using the appropriate climbing vocabulary to interact with their partners and learn how to work as a roped team and understand the responsibilities of each climber within it. Learning is progressive and fun, with a variety of climbing sites offering different rock types and levels of difficulty. Games, zip lines, timed exercises, rappels and swings complement the climbing sessions.

The course is led by a state-certified professional, using a teaching approach adapted to young children. To allow them to make real progress towards independence, registration is for all 4 days, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
