Courses are designed to run at three levels:
- Beginner development. You have a basic understanding of the sport and want to move to the next level.
- Performance plateau. You have been doing your sport for a while but need some help to master new skills.
- Peak proficiency. You’re pretty good and are after some fine tuning to become a true expert.
All of our courses are provided in conjunction with specialist coaches and instructors and are based on specific aims and structured itineraries to maximise learning and progression. Courses are delivered in English.

The Ardèche is a very popular venue for ’sport’ climbing – a style that uses fixed protection (bolts) in the rock face to increase the safety margin for climbers and allow them to really push themselves.
Most of the local climbing is done on limestone and routes range from boulder problems and easy ascents to tricky, exposed multi-pitch routes.
