Half-Day Sport Climbing in Soria

Context Sport climbing in Soria takes place in the Añavieja Sopeña area, a small hill with 45 climbing routes spread across 7 sectors. Route heights range from 12 to 22 meters, with most rated around difficulty level 6. A short, clearly marked trail—passing near ancient wall remains—leads to the climbing zones in just 5 minutes on foot. The wind carries the scent of thyme and dry earth, creating a peaceful, rural atmosphere in Soria with no crowds.

The experience You’ll take part in a half-day guided session where you’ll learn fundamental sport climbing techniques such as foot placement, use of cams and protection devices, on well-equipped routes with bolts and steel rings connected by chains. The rock offers diverse handholds and footholds—cracks and corners—that allow practice of different movement styles. From 3:00 PM in summer, natural shade reduces heat intensity, making climbing more comfortable while you feel the rough texture of the stone beneath your palms.

For whom This activity is suitable for complete beginners with no prior climbing experience, as well as climbers with low to moderate skill levels seeking to refine their technique in a calm, natural setting. Requires moderate physical fitness and proper climbing footwear. Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility or those seeking advanced difficulty routes.
