Rock-climbing initiation day in Les Diablerets

Come and discover the world of rock climbing in Les Diablerets during an introductory day with the Bureau des Guides des Alpes Vaudoises.

The introductory climbing day at the Dalles du Dar, near the Col du Pillon, begins at 9:00 with a welcome by the group, an introduction to the guide and a check of equipment.

At 9.30am, the group heads to the climbing site, which is reached by a short approach walk.

At 10:00 a.m., an introduction to the basics of climbing is given, including a presentation of the equipment, safety instructions and belay techniques.

Participants then take their first steps on the rock, with practical exercises in roping up, belaying a partner and top-roping on routes suitable for beginners.

After a convivial lunch break at the foot of the routes, the afternoon is devoted to exploring new routes, improving climbing and belaying techniques, and a workshop on abseiling techniques.

The day concludes with a return to the starting point and a debriefing, during which participants share their experiences and give advice on how to continue climbing.
