Explore and Climb: Mountain Workshops for Children in Cerler
This summer in Cerler, everyone, even the youngest members of the family, can discover the fascinating world of mountains and nature. If you're enjoying a family vacation in the Benasque Valley, the Explore and Climb workshops are the perfect opportunity for your children to take their first steps as mountaineers in a fun, educational, and completely safe way.
Led by a qualified instructor, children will learn a wealth of practical skills useful for navigating the alpine environment. The activity takes place at high altitude, surrounded by the highest three-thousand-meter peaks in the entire mountain range, where they can admire giants of the Pyrenees such as Aneto, Perdiguero, and Posets. And they'll even take home a certificate and a souvenir badge!
