Children love to climb and scramble effortlessly onto anything that crosses their path. They still master the combination of movements instinctively, unlike many adult beginners. There are many reasons to encourage the kids to give climbing a try: climbing trains the muscles all over the body as well as coordination, flexibility and posture. It promotes concentration, the sense of direction and other important cognitive facets. Climbing also has a positive effect on a child's personal development: they learn that patience and perseverance are worthwhile, that one has to take responsibility for the well-being of others and that goals are best achieved in a team. It is not the victory over an opponent that counts, but rather solving problems together. Children and beginners who want to learn the right technique by discovering the fascination of climbing will definitely find the right instructor in Ötztal. Family-friendly via ferratas such as the Stuibenfall via ferrata make a perfect introduction to the new hobby.
