Rock Climbing

Climbing with an instructor as part of a sociable group, with our other guests is a lot of fun and we can’t think of a better way to experience the mountains than climbing natural rock faces, in wild locations.

You’ll be taught belaying and abseiling techniques and enjoy climbing several route grades. In Tignes, you will learn some advanced climbing techniques not taught in the UK at this level, like Lead Climbing. So this is a real experience. And the backdrop is stunning!

No prior skills required, adult climbs and easier routes for children age 7 yrs+ are accommodated in the same activity so you can enjoy this activity with your children.

How do I find the activity?

For Morzine
Meet at ABC Sports in the centre of Morzine (see map and grid ref) and the minibus will take you directly there.

For Tignes
The Climbing is just above Tignes Les Brevieres, (an 8-10 min drive from our hotel), or you can E-bike to the activity using our hotel E-bikes which is a nice way to start the adventure.

Alternatively, you can hop on the free resort shuttle from Brévières up to Tignes Boisses which is only a 5 min’ drive and enjoy an easy walk across the dam (which is a sight-seeing experience in itself) to the climbing meeting point. The meeting place is in a car park just above the dam – 100 metres along the road to Val d’Isére. The shuttle is free on the MyTignes pass.

The free shuttle stop is 5 mins walk from our hotel and runs every 30 mins.
