Yes. Climbing Academy Vienna provides climbing courses for children in Vienna and Lower Austria. Children aged 5 and over discover climbing through play in a supportive setting with professional coaching.
Is Climbing a Good Alternative to the Gym?
Yes. Climbing is an effective full-body workout that particularly strengthens the upper body and pulling muscles. Bouldering and indoor climbing are therefore an engaging alternative to conventional gym training.
What Is the Difference Between an Übungsleiter and a State-Certified Instructor?
The Austrian Übungsleiter Sportklettern qualification is the first level of training for sport-climbing instructors and covers important fundamentals of safety and climbing technique. It is also a prerequisite for starting the state-certified instructor programme.
State-certified instructors complete substantially more extensive, sports-science-based training. They independently lead climbing courses and plan training methodically according to clear goals. At Climbing Academy Vienna, you are coached exclusively by a state-certified instructor.
Why Should I Book a Climbing Course with Climbing Academy Vienna?
Every course is led by a state-certified instructor for sport climbing who also trains climbing instructors for Naturfreunde, coaches the Marswiese competition team's B squad and applies experience from both recreational and performance climbing directly to individual courses and private sessions.
