Our classic climbing course in the beautiful canton of Ticino will take place again this year as a four-day compact course. The region is known for its Mediterranean climate and Lake Maggiore is already a popular vacation destination in spring. In terms of climbing technique, this course is the perfect all-rounder. The areas are perfectly secured, making it the ideal training area. From bouldering blocks and short sport climbing routes to 300-metre-long multi-pitch routes, everything is on offer. No matter which facet of climbing you would like to get to know, you will find it here.
Shortly after Locarno, the warmest city in Switzerland, you will find our cozy and very clean campsite. It is located directly on the Maggia, which boasts crystal-clear mountain water and is ideal for swimming. The Ponte, our primary climbing area, is only a few minutes away by car. Travel and meals are not included in the course fee and are organized jointly.

Climbing is an intense experience where everyone can reach their own limits. Beginners can learn to climb and belay from scratch under the guidance of our licensed DAV instructors. Thanks to the perfect protection of the routes, lead climbing is also quickly possible for beginners. In addition to improving personal climbing and belaying skills, the program also includes belaying techniques and tactics for multi-pitch climbing. Of course, there will also be plenty of climbing time to put what you have learned into practice. We will spend a day in one of the best bouldering areas in Europe to get to know this fascinating facet of climbing. For the pros among you, we also have special training topics such as onsight goes, route analysis, the latest findings on stand construction and much more on the program. Additional information on material science is also provided. Whatever you want to know about climbing, you'll get it here in theory and practice.
There are no technical climbing requirements for this trip. The trip is aimed at anyone who wants to experience climbing in the great outdoors.

The Maggia is perfect for cooling off after climbing. There is also a beach volleyball court on the banks and plenty of trees to stretch slacklines. We prepare dinner together. A highlight is the dinner event, where the Unisport team demonstrates its experience with the camp kitchen and prepares excellent meals. In the evening, the nearby shore invites you to a cozy get-together around the campfire with guitars and various songbooks.
