Ice Coaching (2 Days)

For those who miss climbing in winter as much as we do.

With climbing gyms bustling and rock climbing being less feasible due to the cold, the Pustertal Valley offers numerous frozen waterfalls awaiting ascent. This workshop provides beginners with an introduction to the equipment, while experienced ice climbers can discover fresh ideas and receive a knowledge refresher.
