Introduction to Outdoor Rock climbing
Step Outside onto the Real Thing!
Outdoor Rock Climbing is an exciting way to engage with the beautiful Swiss Alps. Challenge yourself on the rock and climb to the top. The accomplishment brings big smiles, and the fantastic views are worth the effort.
This 1-day adventure is a great introduction for beginner climbers who want to try outdoor rock climbing. Have you been to a climbing gym before and got hooked, or maybe you want to check it off the bucket list? Either way, you will enjoy one of our group or private courses.
Here’s an Overview of the Introduction Climbing program:

No problem if you don’t have the equipment. We have you covered! We provide all the climbing equipment, such as:
- Ropes
- Harnesses
- Helmets
- Carabiners
- Technical materials
*Climbing Shoes are required but NOT included. The size and ‘feel’ of a climbing shoe is unique to each climber and we do not offer this service. Many ‘mountain shops’ sell climbing shoes and have knowledgable staff to help you. Stores like, Transa (Zurich or Bern), Bächli (various locations), Bike and Climb Up (Ibach, Schwyz).

- Guest skill level and goals

This new climber gave the course a 5-Star Review:
“As a beginner to rock climbing, I’m really glad I learned through Tim. He is patient, encouraging, able to match the pace and skill level of different climbers and someone you can trust in challenging situations on the rock. He also has really fun climbing stories to share! I thoroughly recommend booking a rock climbing course with Tim. -Yvonne
