Climbing school rocks, bouldering, multi-pitch routes, adventure terrain – what is it in the Ariège Pyrenees?

Climbing on a school rock, especially at the Auzat school rock, is suitable for beginners and families. On these fully secured climbing rocks, you can practice calmly and adapt the difficulty level.

For bouldering, no rope is needed, but a crash-pad to absorb falls. Bouldering is more technical and sometimes more physical.

On equipped multi-pitch routes or adventure terrain (without fixed equipment), the climber engages on several pitches and gains height, up to 350 meters in Ariège.

Choosing your playground means training, dedicating yourself, and pushing your limits on the cliffs of the Ariège mountains – that is what we offer!
