Description

Come rock climbing in Cascais with me and spend an unforgettable day in nature with your family!On this half-day program, we will adapt the climbing to your preferences and needs, taking into consideration your level and your kids ages, if you decide to come as a family.One of the most suitable places we can visit for families is a crag called “Pedra Amarela”. It is situated in the Sintra forest, relatively close to Convento dos Capuchos. From the meeting point, we would walk to the crag, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes. It’s a very short and enjoyable hike through the forest. Once there, its easy to set a rappel line and there are around 20 different routes in the area to choose from.Because it is set a bit away from the main area, it’s very quiet. It’s perfect for teaching, and the climbing is quite easy. Also since its in the middle of the forest, at the top of the crag you can enjoy beautiful views all the way to the coast.Techniques I can teach kids include basic skills from foot placement to belaying. It will depend a lot on the kids’ cooperation and ease with new information. However, the main point of the adventure is that they have fun so if they don’t want to focus on techniques, then I try to make it fun for them.This is just one example of the places we can visit that is suitable for families with children. Of course, you can come rock climbing in Cascais and find other options too if you would like a different kind of experience. Just let me know and I will send you a proposal.Contact me today and let’s start planning your Sintra-Cascais rock climbing adventure! I look forward to being your guide!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
