Want to try ice climbing for the first time, but not sure how?
Want to experience the freedom of climbing with dozens of meters of air beneath your feet, while still feeling safe?
Do you have a busy schedule and limited free time?
No problem — this program is perfect for you!
Climb routes ranging from 15 to over 150 meters at an ice climbing site in the Skakavitsa Valley or the Rila Lakes. You decide how far to go and what level of difficulty to tackle. The program is also designed for complete beginners!
Panoramic views of the Skakavitsa Valley, Malyovitsa, and all the way to Vitosha.
Our goal is to spark your love for ice climbing while we enjoy the amazing views and beauty of the Rila Mountains together.
Our private ice climbing sessions for beginners don’t have a set schedule—they happen whenever you say so—on weekdays or on the weekend. You choose the date, and we’ll make sure your experience is unforgettable, full of adrenaline, and completely safe!
The climbs take place entirely on dates of your choice, tailored to your personal schedule!
We provide you with all the necessary climbing gear — a harness, helmet, ice climbing axes, crampons, rope, and belay equipment. We also provide insurance for extreme sports.
Climb ice routes of varying lengths and difficulty levels, tailored to your preferences and abilities. Here, you’re completely in control of the type and pace of the climb. Depending on your preferences, we can climb with top-rope belaying all day, or tackle one long or several different alpine ice routes within a single day. You also have the option to choose a training-focused climbing session if you need to focus on something specific—such as learning more about knots, belaying, rappelling on ice, multi-pitch climbing, or working safely with your gear.
