Depending on the chosen area, you can climb technical granite slabs in Sintra or enjoy scenic limestone routes overlooking the Atlantic coast at Cabo Espichel.
The selected routes are fully bolted multi-pitches, generally in the low to intermediate difficulty range, and reach approximately 60 to 120 meters in height.
The day begins at the designated meeting point with an equipment check and a briefing about the selected route. From there, youāll hike to the climbing area, with approaches ranging from short walks to around one hour.
Once at the base, youāll gear up and begin your multi-pitch ascent, progressing from one bolted pitch to the next while enjoying the stunning scenery. Reach the top, take in the incredible views and bask in the satisfaction of completing the route before making your way back.
