Our courses at a glance

Children’s courses: learning to climb with fun

In our children’s courses, kids aged 6 to 12 learn bouldering from the ground up – playfully, safely and in an age-appropriate way. Alongside climbing technique, the focus is on coordination, body tension, flexibility and above all enjoying the movement. Our dedicated kids’ area is the ideal starting point before moving on to the roughly 300 boulder problems across 8 grades.

Courses run weekly and last one hour each. With a maximum of 8 children per group, our trainers have time for every child. Prices start at €50 per month – rental shoes are available directly in the hall.

Group and one-to-one training for teens and adults

Want to improve your technique, finally finish your project or train in a structured way? Our group training sessions cater to different levels – from beginners wanting to learn the basics properly, to ambitious boulderers working on strength, tactics and flexibility. A session lasts 60 to 90 minutes, with groups limited to 6 participants.

If you prefer to train individually, book a one-to-one session: your trainer analyses your climbing technique and puts together a plan matched to your goals. Group training can be booked from €15 directly in our shop under “Trainings”.

Common questions about our courses

Does my child need previous experience?

No. Our children’s courses suit complete beginners just as well as children who already have climbing experience. Trainers set tasks according to ability.

What equipment is needed?

Comfortable sportswear is enough. You can rent bouldering shoes for €4.50 per day – no rope or harness is needed, since you climb at jumping-down height above thick mats.

Can I book a trial session?

Just get in touch by phone or email – we will find the right course together and check whether a taster slot is free. More answers are in our FAQ.
