Welcome

Welcome to the Kletterzentrum Innsbruck, one of the World's largest climbing facilities. Over 6000 m2 of climbing surface accommodate all three disciplines of climbing (Lead, Boulder, Speed). At our facility, leisure climbing and professional climbing find enough space to train side by side and together. Our climbing facility has been built with the financial support of the city of Innsbuck, the land of Tyrol and the Austrian government. It is run with the support and the know-how of the Alpenverein Innsbruck. Our opening times are 9 am to 11 pm on weekdays, and 9 am to 10 pm on weekends and holidays. In case of major sports events, the opening times can differ. These dates can easily be found on our homepage. Our offer is very diverse and covers everything from climbing routes between 3a and 9a, a small fitness gym, a special kids' area, a course and beginners area, as well as a small shop with rental equipment and a bar for culinary delights. The bouldering area has color boulders as well as training areas, where you can make up your own boulders. Our climbing centre is simultaneously the training- and the competition centre of the Austrian National Team (www.austriaclimbing.com). This means that sometimes, some of the training areas are reserved for the training of these athletes and can't be used by other visitors. In the short overview in English that follows, we would like to describe you the first steps to take before entering our climbing gym.

Are you here for the first time?

You don't have to pass a test, but you have to register and confirm with a signature that you have all the necessary qualifications to climb without instruction and safely. There are no employees in the gym who check your skills. If you do not meet our safety standards or if you don't stick to our house rules, the gym staff can force you to leave the facility. If you don't have climbing equipment with you, you can rent it in our shop. In case you don't know how to climb yet, you have to register in our climbing school a few days before your visit either via email (kurse@kletterzentrum-innsbruck.at) or phone (0043 512 397340) and make a reservation with a climbing teacher. In any case, you are not allowed to climb if you cannot fill the entire registration form, which includes the confirmation that you have the necessary qualifications and skills to climb safely.

The Registration Form

Please go to the computer at the entrance and fill the registration form. After that, you can go to the cashier and get your entrance card.
Please note that there are different registration forms:

 

Every adult must be able to fill his registration form on his own. If you are a novice climber, you have to make sure to get instructions from a qualified person who is responsible for your safety. 

Adolescents between 14 and 18 years need a letter of consent from their legal guardian in order to access the climbing facility on their own and alone. Otherwise, they are only allowed to climb together with a qualified supervisor. The same goes for adolescents younger than 14 years.  This supervisor has the duty of supervision and has the full responsibility. The supervisor pays the children rate to enter the gym.

Climbing coaches and team trainers who are with groups of more than 8 climbers can register as a group and sign a group registration, if they assume the full responsibility for all members of their group. Teams and groups only receive a discount for their entry if they announced their visit via email beforehand (info(at)kletterzentrum-innsbruck(dot)at).
