Rock Climbing Lessons Geneva
Certified Instructor at Salève & Indoor
Live in Geneva and looking for private climbing lessons with a rock climbing instructor you can trust? I offer guided outdoor climbing at the Salève crag — just 20–30 minutes from Geneva city centre — plus indoor sessions at partner Geneva gyms, with customized technical instruction adapted to your level.
Programmes
Tailored Climbing Courses:
From Indoor Gyms to Outdoor Rock
Whether you're taking your very first steps on a wall or chasing a harder outdoor grade, every course is built around customized technical instruction — not a generic script. Climbing courses for beginners and advanced climbers alike, structured around your goals and your schedule.
Each lesson follows a clear progression: assessment, personalised plan, guided practice, and follow-up — so every session moves you forward, whether you're training indoors in Geneva or climbing outdoors at the Salève.
Level assessment Geneva
First session dedicated to analysing your climbing: strengths, technical blockers, compensatory habits. Priority areas identified.
Personalised climbing plan
Construction of a bespoke progression plan: technical exercises, fitness training, route objectives and realistic timeline.
Outdoor climbing sessions on the Salève
Customized technical instruction on identified exercises. Immediate feedback, video analysis if needed, plan adjusted to progress.
Personalised follow-up between lessons
You leave with an independent training programme to keep progressing between sessions. Available by message for questions.
Why it matters
Why Choose a Sports Science Degree (STAPS) Qualified Instructor?
Many Geneva climbers train in gyms without supervision and accumulate incorrect habits. The result: stagnation, overuse finger injuries, frustration. A rock climbing instructor holding a University Degree in Sports Science (Climbing Specialisation) doesn't just say "try again" — they identify precisely what's blocking you and help you fix it.
My qualification and experience allow me to work on every aspect of your progression: movement technique, rope handling, risk management, mental preparation. I adapt my customized technical instruction to complete climbing beginners and advanced climbers alike.
Where we climb
Outdoor Salève Crags & Indoor Geneva Gyms
Two formats, one instructor — pick what suits your week.
Guided outdoor climbing at the Salève
The Salève crag is located just 20–30 minutes from Geneva city centre — real rock, real exposure, and the fastest way to build genuine outdoor competence under close supervision.
Indoor sessions in Geneva
Indoor sessions available at Vitam (Neydens), Totem, or other local Geneva gyms — also your rainy day backup option, so bad weather never cancels a lesson.

Alexis, climbing instructor in Chamonix
Qualified — Pro Card N° 07419ED0284
A passionate climber since childhood, I turned that passion into a profession by earning a Sports Science Degree (STAPS) specialising in Climbing and my official state instructor card, issued by the French Ministry of Sports.
I guide climbers of all levels — from first-time climbing introductions and family outings to advanced athletes looking to break technical plateaus. My goal: that you leave every session with real progress and genuine enjoyment.
Every outing is prepared carefully: site inspection, gear check (harnesses, helmets, rope, carabiners, quickdraws), weather assessment. Safety is the foundation of every session.

Insurance & liability
I hold Professional Liability Insurance (RC Pro) covering all my instructing activities. Participants must have personal insurance covering outdoor rock climbing. If you don't, let me know when booking — I can arrange cover through my own RC Pro policy.
