Our rock climbing holidays and adventure courses are based from Sella, on the Costa Blanca in Spain.
Forty minutes from Alicante airport, this area has the best winter weather in Europe and is home to thousands of fantastic routes, precisely the reason why numerous tourists continue to hunt for cheap airfare bound to these parts during this time of the year. Just a short drive either way up the coast or inland will take you to the vast selection of crags in the Costa Blanca. There is a huge variety of rock climbing to be found here. One day you’ll be clipping bolts on a single pitch crag, the next you’ll be enjoying a long mountain route or an exposed via ferrata.

Adventure courses, via ferrata and ridge scrambling
Via Ferrata were originally invented in Italy during WW1 to enable troops to travel quickly through mountainous terrain. They are now used for recreation and provide exhilerating experiences on big cliffs with easy access. There are 3 Via Ferrata in the Costa Blanca area - see the topos page for details. Learn all you need to know to tackle Via Ferrata independently and safely: lanyard systems, movement techniques using rungs and rock, assessing the quality of fixed equipment, techniques for retreat and more
The Bernia Ridge offers a unique mountaineering experience comparable to, but shorter than, the Skye Ridge. It is an excellent place to learn scrambling techniques and ropework while enjoying the breathtaking exposure and grand panoramas. It is also good preparation for those who wish to undertake greater challenges such as the Skye Ridge. The Bernia Ridge is usually completed in stages over 2 separate days - this allows time for learning skills along the way. It is possible to complete a full traverse in a day for those with a suitable level of fitness and experience more
