If you like climbing and yoga but want MORE from you holiday... this is the place to come. Under the careful watch of some of the best guides and climbing instructors in Europe  John Falkiner, legendary mountain legend, Agniezka Petit, Climbing Brevet D’Etat or Coach Duncan McCallum, ex-professional climber and Rock Guru, you will enjoy real progress on the rock and in the mind and body! See the people page for more info on our crew and climbing instructors and guides. 

You’ll be staying in a sustainable, low energy renovated farm. The Sunday Times called it the best ‘eco-lodge’ in the Alps and it has been said that the food is better than in a 5* restaurant! Your hosts are TV presenter and ex-pro climber Duncan MCCallum and yogini and personal development coach, Saskia Anley. They invite you to La Source to share a week of fun and  adventure! There is white water rafting, hiking, mountain biking, parapenting, high ropes courses, via ferratta, and lake swimming on the doorstep.

On the last 2 courses we have been able to offer a guided 9 pitch multi-pitch route adventure in the Aosta Valley, Italy (E35 to cover travel and guides meals per person). We can’t promise that every course, but we do go out of our way to make your week exceptional!
