AN ICE-COLD ADVENTURE

ICE CLIMBING

Experience the ultimate thrill of climbing up frozen waterfalls!

Vertical ice, muscle power and six small steel spikes that prevent slipping. It could not be any more crazy. The ice-covered rock walls and frozen waterfalls not only look impressive. They awake the urge to climb them from all positions with ice picks and special crampons. If you want to test the extreme sport of ice climbing, you should have knowledge of alpine climbing, a good head for heights and good physical fitness.

Fairytale ice landscapes and a thrill of a special kind await you!
