One week of Canyoning
Canyoningweek 10.05.08, 30.08.08
One week full of canyoning!
Due to an enormous demand for more of this gigantic sport, we decided to invent to "canyoning only" weeks:
We get to know during our material and technique briefing on Saturday, explore our first fascinating canyon on Sunday and exchange our experiences during meal time.
The next days we visit four other canyons with rising difficulties and adventures. You will get to know to huge rappels and will learn a lot about the different characters - less or more water, narrow or wide canyon, grey or red rock, jumping, sliding and rapelling. The adventure canyoning will catch you for shure! At the evenings we can talk more detailled about the different techniques, so after that week you will be an advanced canyoneer.
Additionally we hike over the Ridge of Vernis.
Our Caynoningweek is also perfectly suitable for beginners!
Of course you can pass a second week with us at the Verdon and reserve additional activities.

Climbing Week Beginner 17.05.08, 23.08.08
One week of climbing fun in real spectacular rock!
After first explanations on Saturday, we will start with a refreshment of climbing and safety technics on sunday, to prepare you for the next days:
Let us take you to the most fascinating and most secret climbing spots which the Verdon presents. Climb with us in toprope on sunny walls, try other safety technics, observe other climbers, who move through madly difficult routs and improve your own stile.
Depending on the group ability we might train on easier school walls, climb lmulti pitch routes, or we might visit perfectly secured climbing gardens. Learn about lead climbing and how to build up a relais!
To the most rocks we drive a few kilometers with our minibus, so we do not have to walk too far!
We metat your disposal all the necessary climbing materials, as well as climbing shoes, if you like, you can bring your own materials, of course!
To get to know the huge walls of the Verdon Canyon in a different way, we take you to the Canyon - Discover - Trip!

Kletterwoche Verdon 07.06.07
Our aim is a 200 meters long wall in the Verdon Canyon, previous experience necessary!
To take part in our Climbingweek Verdon, you should already have experiences in safety- and climbingtechniques, as well as in lead climbing:
You should know the basics of lead climbing and be able to climb in the 6th UIAA degree (UIAA is the graduation normally used in Germany).
Everything else, like building up relais and the tourplanning will be explained to you during your holiday.
On your arrival day, we met in the evening, to get to know each other and to check our equipment, on Sunday we climb first routes in a nearby climbing garden, refresh our techniques and check our abilities of climbing. Of course our main motivation is fun!
On the second climbing day, you learn how to build up a relais and how to do abseiling along several length. This is used on some easier routes immediatly. Additionaly we get to know the secrets of lead climbing.
On Wednesday we hike along the Ridge of Vernis, to get to know to the environment in a different way.
The next day it gets a littel more thrilling, our new learned knowledge are required on real rock: we climb our first multi pitch route on the left riverside. These routes are partly in a very huge wall, which makes them a perfect preperation for Friday.
Then its the big day, we drive to the Route des Cretes by car, to look for a small and steep footpath, leading into the canyon within 45 minutes. After a few meters through bushes, we are infont of the dream of every single climber: the endless walls of the right canyon side! Two routes of 200 meters each are waiting for us.
We climb up the canyon wall in two persons teams, always accompanied by fantastic views of the Verdon, swallows are around us, and meter after meter we climb back to the street. After about five hours it´s done, we ambarass, yell down into the canyon and are proud of every single climbed meter.
For those adventure we met all the necessary material at your disposal, but you may bring your own equipment, too!
Of course you can reserve a second week after our Climbingweek Verdon and reserve additional activities.
