No matter if you want to transfer from indoor to rock climbing or if you want to improve your climbing technique, there is hardly a better place for a climbing course than the many limestone walls around Arco. The Mediterranean atmosphere, the nearby Lake Garda and the bustling town of Arco with the many sports shops, bars and restaurants just make the week perfect. 

Our local mountain guides will bring you to the best climbing spots, teach you how to read the rock faces and show you important tips and tricks to improve your personal skills. You will improve your climbing skills, techniques including lead climbing. Our ghuides are able to provide individual coaching to each person on the course based on their individual needs at the time. We will aim to get plenty of climbing in, look at set ups, practice belaying using different devices and answer specific questions from the group. If the walls are really crowded during the summer season, don’t worry about this, we know the best secret place.. far away from the famous and well-known climbing areas!

In addition there is professional supervision by the mountain school, much Italian charm and a lot of fun. And ... There are no language barriers, because all mountain guides speak Italian, English and many even German.
