Grandes voies climbing course for 11 year olds -Cie des guides Chamonix

Facing the Mont Blanc massif, the Aiguilles Rouges massif is the ideal destination for big-pitch climbing, with numerous routes perfectly suited to perfecting your skills on multi-pitch equipped routes.

This climbing course has been specially designed to discover the techniques involved in multi-pitch routes. Every day, our program explores new sites, guaranteeing a varied and stimulating experience while allowing youngsters to push their limits, creating lasting memories. The emphasis is on being part of a team, requiring communication and coordination. The young people are invited to co-construct the week's program by choosing itineraries from the topo.

In order to guarantee optimal skill development and an appropriate level of safety, registration requires a number of prerequisites: young people must be able to climb on their own, have experience of lead climbing including belay handling, and be at least 11 years old. Registration is open exclusively for the four-day course. For more flexible enrolment options, or for an initiation, please consult our range of climbing schools in Chamonix or Argentière. We also offer a "Grandes voies" course for adults.
