Interesting facts about the tour and region
The Reintal in South Tyrol offers countless opportunities for ice climbing, even at an easy level of difficulty. This location is therefore ideal for the basic ice climbing course.
We drive to the Angerer snack bar and the Angerer ice climbing garden above it. This is where we start our adventure with the Level 1 ice climbing course. We discuss some theoretical aspects of ice climbing and then move straight on to the practical part. At the beginning we climb top rope so that we can focus on the ice climbing-specific aspects. After explaining the safety techniques on ice and plenty of practice, we move on to lead climbing when ice climbing, if the individual participants wish.
We also climb in some of the easy ice falls in the Reintal. Always under the watchful supervision of your mountain guide.
