OUR TRIPS
Ice Climbing-Conquer Frozen Heights
Ice climbing is an exhilarating winter sport that is rapidly gaining popularity. Climbing frozen waterfalls immerses you in a breathtaking winter landscape, offering a unique experience like no other. Armed with crampons and ice axes, you’ll ascend stunning ice formations, always secured by a rope for safety.
After meeting your guide at the hotel, you’ll be provided with all the necessary equipment, including headlamps and gear tailored to you. The drive to the starting point is short, and we park directly by the waterfall. With both easy and challenging routes side by side, the experience is perfect for participants of all skill levels.
Once your gear is adjusted, the guide will give a thorough safety briefing. You’ll begin the first climbs with assistance, and as you build confidence, you’ll start climbing more independently. Keep going as long as your energy lasts, and enjoy every moment of this unforgettable ice climbing adventure!
