Description

The abseiling course in Montserrat takes place in the mountain massif near Barcelona, famous for its rock formations and dry ravines. Its vertical walls, with descents ranging from 3 to 30 meters, are ideal for learning to rappel in a protected mountain environment.

During the one-day basic course, guided by certified sports technicians, you will learn essential abseiling techniques: body positioning, belaying and self-belaying, and the safe handling of the harness, helmet, and rope. The day combines several descents down different walls, alternating technique and direct contact with the rock.
