Rock Climbing

Active Holiday

There are not any high mountains on the territory of the Czech Republic, which would offer conditions for alpinism and difficult high mountain tours. On the other hand there are plenty of interesting localities (sandstone, limestone, granite and gneiss rocks) with rock walls and towers, where climbing of various grades of difficulty can be realized. Majority of the rocks suitable for climbing are located in protected landscape areas. Only registered mountain climbers are permitted to climb in these areas independently; beginners need an instructor’s company. The Nature and landscape protection law restricts climbing in the protected landscape areas; in the national parks and national reserves (especially in Krkonose and Sumava) climbing is prohibited. In case of other types of protected areas – such as national natural sight, natural reserve, natural sight and preserved landscape area – authorities dealing with nature preserve state the conditions for activities on the territory. In every region mountain climbing is individually restricted by rules, which reflect the concrete character of the rock and the need of fauna and flora protection.

Rock Climbing & Rappelling

Everyone who has experienced rock climbing leaves rocks with sense of fulfilment. The rewards of climbing are numerous: self esteem, trust, confidence, physical fitness, and adventure to name a few. Originally, climbing was considered a sport suited only for rugged, overly adventurous people. Nowadays the experienced instructors make it possible for all types, ages, and sizes of people to become familiar with this wondrous sport. We use shorter easy pitches at the beginning, before progressing onto longer more demanding ones. The climbing programme is complemented by at least one rappelling route. In Czech Republic, you can ascend and descend rock walls amidst spectacular nature scenery. Half- or full-day excursions are conducted in the Bohemian Paradise area, Prague vicinity, or North Bohemia. We bring the equipment and staff, you bring the fun.
