Would you like to try rock climbing for the first time? We have the perfect opportunity for you. Join us on a 1-day course in the Apuan Alps, in Tuscany, and learn different rock climbing techniques.
During the course, we'll teach you the moves you need to know for a safe use of the rope. We will also go over belaying techniques and the correct way of handling rope, with appropriate material.
When you practice rock climbing, you also need a good and balanced psychological attitude towards vertical space. Technique and expertise should always be accompanied by safety consciousness.
In this course, we'ill also teach you movement techniques for a correct body balance, rope handling and knots. Besides, we will put all what we learn into practice, for a safe progression on the wall.
We will start the course on a cliff and then move to the mountain. We'll also teach you how to climb on a mountain route safely and at the same time enjoy a pleasant time in the enchanting scenery of the mountains.
The Apuan Alps offer a wide range of rock climbing possibilities, for beginners and also for more experienced climbers. Most important, the view here are breathtaking!
So if you'd like to try rock climbing, don't hesitate to contact us! You can send us a request and we can start making plans for this course in the Apuan Alps. Also, if you want to extend the course duration, we can organize a 2-day course.
And if you want to keep on climbing after the course, you should check our guided climbing tour in the Apuan Alps, for 1 or several days.

We had an incredible time climbing in Portovenere with the Prorock team! They were incredibly helpful in coaching and teaching us climbing techniques, while also allowing us to have so much fun climbing a ton of different routes. They were very familiar with the area and gave us recommendations on how to spend the rest of our day after our trip. Overall we had an incredible experience and hope to be back soon!
