The terrain.
Casteil is a village nestled in the heart of the Canigó massif at 1,000 metres altitude. The cliffs above the village offer quality granite — generous holds, sound rock — with vegetation perfuming the air with resin.
The session starts on the ground: harness fitting, fundamental moves, movement logic. You then climb a series of routes from 4 to 6c on top-rope, always supervised. For children, short playful routes allow rapid progress from the first hour.

"Casteil is the perfect setting to start — the mountain puts you in a different state of mind from the moment you arrive."
