Basic Mountaineering Course - Safety Academy

Do you dream of exploring breathtaking mountain landscapes away from well-trodden paths? Then our SAFETY ACADEMY MOUNTAINEERING Basic course is the perfect opportunity! The aim of this course is to teach you the elementary climbing techniques and ways to travel that you’ll need for your alpine adventure.

The course is rounded off with belaying techniques for challenging passages on the rock face. Our SAFETY ACADEMY training courses provide the ideal basis for ensuring you have no problem independently conducting alpine tours and walking along paths secured with wire rope.
