Granit in the Pyrenees

Enjoy the magnificent and forgotten granite of the Pyrenees, no doubt Cavallers in the Boi Valley is the perfect place to taste the Pyrenean granite, but, not only, in this hidden valley we will enjoy its copious gastronomy and its wonderful Romanesque architecture.

During a progressive week we will learn how to climb serenely in granite. We will start with the basic safety techniques in sport climbing to finish the week with a basic introduction to multi-pitch wall routes.

We will meet the day before in the afternoon in the Boi Valley where we will be accommodated for the week with full board and enjoy a magnificent welcome by the beauty of the valley.
We will stay at www.hotelpey.com
