Designed to European safety standards, the course features a series of escape routes so that climbers can quickly ascend back up to the mountaintop. A team of certified instructors, trained by a highly experienced British mountain guide, is on hand to assist climbers as they attach themselves to the cables using a waist harness and a locked carabiner system.
Try your hand at one of the world’s oldest and most noble sports. Static targets are set at different shooting ranges, to cater for all abilities and provide an increasing challenge.
