Abseiling

Want to try abseiling for your next adventure? Then you will need to know where to rappel – fortunately you have come to the right place! This abseiling travel guide includes experiences and courses from around the world.

But what is abseiling? Also known as rappelling it is using ropes to descend a vertical (or very steep) face. This can be a cliff, a tree, a building or anything else that provides a long drop you can climb down.

Often abseiling is how rock climbers get down once they have climbed a route. Likewise rappelling is used by skiers and snowboarders to access hidden valleys. While a beginner can abseil with minimal training, actually setting up a rappel requires experience.

Use this abseiling travel guide to help you decide where to rappel next. The light blue menus allow you to filter by destination or type of content you are looking for. If you provide abseiling courses, or offer rappelling experiences then register your company with us to promote them for free.
