Packraft & Climbing Belgium

Climbing in Belgium

Climbing involves ascending natural rock formations using a combination of physical strength, balance, and technical skills. In Belgium, climbing is particularly popular along rivers such as the Meuse or the Ourthe, where cliffs have been shaped over millennia by water erosion. These riverbank cliffs are made of limestone, sandstone, and quartzite.

Climbing as a Sport

Climbing is a full-body workout that engages muscles throughout the body—from the core to the legs, arms, and back. It requires not only physical strength but also strong mental focus, as climbers must analyze routes, understand the effects of gravity, and maintain grip endurance. This sport is also very beneficial for health, being an excellent fat-burning activity that places little to no stress on the body, avoiding the impact often associated with other sports. Climbing promotes overall fitness while providing an exciting and mentally stimulating experience.
