Why climbing in Algarve
The Algarve region is blessed with a wide variety of sport routes in environments as diverse as inland tabletop mountains to jagged ocean cliffs. We love sharing our knowledge and favourite climbs in an informal, yet professional way. We realized that by doing what we love, everyday feels like going climbing with a friend.
Human Friendly
We love people, as we do sharing meaningful, unique and at times life changing moments. Besides doing some epic climbing, we want to see you overcome challenges, both physical and mental. Always with an open mind and a will to adapt.
Quality
We cater to individual climbers or small groups. All to ensure that everyone climbs plenty, allowing us to adapt to all levels and specific individual needs. We can also instruct in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French.
Safety
Our guides are certified and very experienced. We pride ourselves on having high safety standards honed after countless hours of climbing and teaching all over the world.
Climbing Trips
Climbing in Portugal is still in its infancy and not very present in our culture. However, that translates into quiet climbing areas, excellent rock quality and total immersion in nature. As for the Algarve region, it is blessed with stable weather all year round, as well as a diversity of climbing sites and environments.
We can adjust to every level and always tailor each outing to your skills and preferences. Furthermore, we keep our sessions private or with a small ratio of participants per instructor to ensure a safe and high quality experience.
Find out more about the 3 main climbing sites of the region – each one unique in its own way – from impressive table top mountains, rugged ocean cliffs to cozy countryside routes.
Climbing Courses
Portugal is a great playground to develop ones climbing skills. Our team of internationally certified instructors have put together several climbing courses that will prepare you to climb all of Algarve’s climbing areas independently.
These are modular, so they can be taken all together or individually, depending on your preferences and current experience.
Learn to set up top rope routes, lead climb or to build anchors so you can access remote climbing areas over the ocean. Work on your progression and safety techniques, improve your mental game, and build your confidence in the best classrooms ever!
