Climbing initiation during your holidays in Tenerife

Practicing climbing during your holiday in Tenerife is a great idea! The climatic conditions that occur on the Island and its rocky geography will make this experience a unique adventure.

Come to Tenerife and enjoy the breathtaking scenery, perfect weather and many places where you can go climbing. You will find routes for all levels, from beginner routes to more difficult routes for slightly more expert climbers. Climb in Tenerife in an alpine environment, narrow ravines, open walls or over the Atlantic Ocean. Getting started climbing during your holiday in Tenerife promises to be a magical memory!

Whether you want to learn from scratch or improve your technique in your preferred mode. You can take advantage of your stay at GF Hotels and practice this sport to make your vacation unforgettable. These are the main climbing modalities that exist:

Climbing

In this discipline, it doesn’t matter what level you have, since we are always learning as we climb. It can be a movement, a sensation or a small detail that can make a difference. Anchors are previously attached to the wall by mechanical systems.

Traditional climbing

It is an exciting mode of climbing that allows you to travel through rock walls only with recoverable securing means that you place as you progress through the wall. Knowing how to use the material correctly and how to behave in the middle before the unforeseen events that may arise, is a fundamental issue to be able to enjoy pristine walls safely.

Bouldering

In this discipline, we do not usually climb very high to avoid serious problems in case of falls, since bouldering is slightly riskier than the previous ones. It can be done on a rock or on an artificial wooden surface. In Tenerife, you can always practice it on volcanic rocks.
