In the Alps, rock climbing and via ferrata are a way of life, making it the perfect destination for rock climbing holidays in Europe. There simply is no better activity for seeing the wonder of the mountains in a whole new light.

Many resorts across the Alps are renowned amongst the most famous climbing holiday destinations in the world, with guides and instructors who will help enthusiasts make the most of their time in the mountains. Climbing in the Alps is a fully-rounded experience, where visitors can enjoy ‘real’ rock-faces, beautiful surroundings, and natural locations. On a family activity holiday in the Alps, children from 8 years can typically join in climbing lessons, building confidence, and developing a love for the great outdoors!

For something a little different, visitors can also try out via ferrata holidays in the Alps and the Dolomites.
