ROCKdays in the Pillerseetal: The climbing festival for all fans of the vertical

Updated 03.05.2022

From 10 to 12 June, everything revolves around the rock at the ROCKdays in the PillerseeTal: whether alpine climbing, via ferrata or children's climbing - the three-day event attracts with workshops for all skill levels.

As soon as the first rays of sun warm the bare rocks of the Steinberge in the PillerseeTal, climbing enthusiasts take the region firmly in their hands. Fans of the vertical will then rock the PillerseeTal again at the ROCKdays - the climbing festival for the whole family from 10 to 12 June 2022. And this year it's "Allez, allez!" again at the ROCKwarrior.

Whether alpine climbing, via ferrata or children's climbing, at the ROCKdays in the PillerseeTal everything revolves around the rock. The three-day event attracts with workshops for young and old, beginners and experienced climbers

"Trying something new is not only expressly allowed at the ROCKdays, but explicitly desired," say Katrin Pühringer and Daniel Hofer, the project managers from the PillerseeTal tourism association

Two days of workshops, an action-packed competition and a cool party with a live band on the lake stage show that the ROCKdays have thought of all friends of the mountains when designing the programme. The little ones are integrated into the fun just as much as the experts or those who just want to get a taste of climbing

After a yoga session on the Pillersee in Ortisei , the workshops for beginners and via ferrata climbers as well as the two-day alpine climbing course start on Saturday morning. Salewa will provide rental equipment free of charge. Adventurers can also go canyoning in the Devil's Gorge with the Fun Connection, abseiling from bridges and jumping over waterfalls. On Lake Pillersee, the SUP'N'FUN team takes the water rats for a spin on the Stand Up Paddle Board, while the kids are well looked after at the children's climbing course

The motto "Action and fun for everyone" continues on ROCKsaturday afternoon at the ROCKwarrior competition for everyone. The aim is to be the fastest at various stations. An easier version will be built for the children. Of course, you are allowed to test the stations before it's time to prove your muscle power in the qualification and to take part in the final. The ROCKwarriors will be celebrated at ROCKnight, where a live band will set off musical fireworks on the lake stage.

ROCKsunday is once again the meeting point in Waidring at the Steinplatte cable car. Here, too, you can choose from a range of workshops: Via ferrata tour, multi-pitch tour, alpine climbing course, climbing for beginners, children's climbing or canyoning. The possibilities on the 7 km long and up to 200 m high Steinplatte with its 100 multi-pitch routes and 70 sport climbing routes from 4th to 8th degree of difficulty are almost endless

The Kitzbühel mountain guides as well as the Fun Connection are behind the festival as professional experts.
