Whether on the breathtaking coast or in the enchanting Sintra Natural Park: you’ll find many extremely beautiful climbing spots with ideal conditions for both beginners and advanced climbers just a few kilometres from the retreat. Your qualified, experienced guides are always at your side. They know the area like the back of their hand and know exactly where the best climbing spots are found. The guides show you the most important points to remember when climbing, give valuable tips and always watch out for your safety: because for us, your safety is always paramount. The training also includes a thorough introduction to the basics of climbing: handling the materials and the safety rules, and also how to rope up correctly and top-rope climbing. You go climbing for 2 to 3 hours a day in small groups of maximum 8 people. This enables your guides to always start at each person’s precise current level and to give you all individual attention. We provide all your climbing equipment, consisting of a safety belt, climbing shoes and a helmet. The entire set of high-quality equipment is regularly given a rigorous inspection and thorough maintenance care.

Climbing is a sport that not only trains your muscles but also your coordination, challenges you repeatedly and makes you stronger as a person. When climbing a gigantic, almost insurmountable rock face, every climber sooner or later reaches the point where they have to leave their personal comfort zone and overcome their own limitations. The feeling of having excelled oneself and of finally reaching the summit can hardly be described in words: you have to experience it.
