At Cascais routes we’re passionate about climbing and we take having fun in the outdoors seriously ☺. Our rock climbing camps are suitable for first time beginners and advanced climbers who want to improve their climbing technique.
Sintra-Cascais Natural Park offers diverse and outstanding rock climbs for all ability levels! Whether in the mountains or by the sea our certified and experienced climbing instructors will teach you in a safe, fun and no pressure way. They will take you every day to the best climbing and boulder spots in the area, depending on group´s level and local temperatures.
We don´t want to only share with you our passion for rock climbing but also our love for Sintra-Cascais Natural Park - the amazing environment we call home- and all it has to offer, always through the eyes of a local.

Climbing is a sport. You should never underestimate the physical and mental preparation climbing practice involves.
Try to get prepared for the climbing trip. Any sport that improves strength, cardio resistance , balance and flexibility will help you to progress faster at climbing. Indoor climbing, Swimming, running, gym routines, scrambling, yoga, Pilates , skating… are good examples of sports that can help you getting ready to make the most out of your climbing lessons.
If you are not able to practise any sport before the surf camp, don´t worry! Try to eat healthy, hit more the stairs instead taking the elevator and… maybe take your old bike for a ride?
What if I am not as fit as I would like to? It is OK. You will have fun and learn anyway!.
We have all CLIMBING equipment you will need. But, remember to bring with you:
