Quel est l'âge minimum/maximum pour participer ?Toute personne âgée de 13 ans ou plus peut suivre n’importe lequel de nos cours programmés. Nous détenons une licence AALA et sommes en mesure d'emmener des enfants de moins de 13 ans, mais nous ne le proposons que sur une base guidée privée. Consultez nos tarifs indicatifs privés, car cela peut s'avérer très compétitif, surtout lors d'une réservation en famille. Il n’y a pas d’âge maximum, si vous vous sentez assez jeune pour y assister, vous êtes les bienvenus !
-
Le prix du cours comprend-il la nourriture et les boissons ?Presque tous les cours commencent et se terminent à notre lieu de rendez-vous initial, qui est généralement un parking. Ici, votre instructeur pourra vous fournir une infusion rapide et une collation tout en discutant de l'activité de la journée. Nous ne fournissons pas de nourriture dans le cadre de nos cours et vous devrez apporter un panier-repas pour chaque jour. Il y a souvent des cafés locaux à quelques minutes en voiture de nos sites (mais pas toujours !) qui peuvent vous proposer des sandwichs, des gâteaux et des boissons.
-
Comment réserver ?Tous nos cours peuvent être réservés en privé, avec un moniteur privé juste pour vous ou votre groupe. Cela vous donne la possibilité de réserver la date qui vous convient et cela signifie également que l'instructeur peut affiner le contenu du cours en fonction de vos aspirations. Pour effectuer une réservation, suivez simplement notre lien de réservation en ligne ci-dessous ou contactez-nous pour discuter de toute exigence spécifique ou modification que vous pourriez avoir en tête.

Y a-t-il des pré-requis ?Une certaine expérience de l’escalade en salle ou en extérieur serait bénéfique, mais n’est pas essentielle.
