Dolomites climbing course basic course
Level 1
Climbing course level 1 in the Val Gardena Dolomites. Climbing at III-IV difficulty level
In this course, you will be taught the basics of alpine rock climbing step by step. In the nearby climbing garden at the hut, we will learn how to step and grip the rock safely, as well as basic climbing techniques. Top rope belaying will quickly improve your climbing skills through practical practice. The correct belaying technique, rope handling and knot tying are just as much a part of the training as abseiling exercises. On the last day, there is a final tour to apply and consolidate what you have learned.

We wanted to go ice climbing in December. But unfortunately there wasn't enough ice in Tyrol. Our Zillertal mountain guide recommended Flo to us because the conditions in Val Gardena were better. Since we already had previous experience and arrived a few days in advance, Flo was able to give us lots of good tips for standing lines. The quick communication via WhatsApp was really great. The day with him was really fun. He took our different climbing preferences and levels into account. So it was perfect. We climbed the Sword of Damocles. Great line. And ended the day with some dry tooling. Flo is a top ice climber and we just had fun and a good time on a human level. We'd love to come back soon
