The Salon de l'Escalade is THE FIRST AND ONLY exhaustive thematic event 100% dedicated to Verticality issues in Europe, in a hybrid formula bringing together Pro and General Public1 visitors!
This meeting, already a must-do after only 3 Editions, allows:
- french representatives, most of the time not keen to participate at major meetings outside France, to effectively address their international network,
- foreign players to get a foothold in the French market, paradoxically enjoying both an exceptional heritage and history but still difficult to address directly.
Ideally located in the Rhône-Alpes region, in the immediate vicinity of neighboring countries converted to climbing in all its forms (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, etc.) and with no less than 23% of foreign exhibitors, the event has been given an international certification since its first edition!
This gathering, strictly focused on climbing and by extension on Verticality, embraces this theme exhaustively, brilliantly bringing together all its categories of actors in their extreme diversity2.
Wether new protagonist, freshly starting to established player on the market, the Salon de l'Escalade is the best showcase and the not-to-be-missed accelerator for your structure.
From the new, freshly starting protagonist to the established player on the market, take advantage of a hybrid meeting bringing together professionals and their end users around 2 distinct sections, all in an ultra-friendly atmosphere where it is good to meet up or expand once network.
You too can become an Exhibitor at the 2023' Salon de l'Escalade and benefit from exclusive advantages:
- Powerful natural web referencing with registration on the list of exhibitors and consultation of your pages by all our visitors (feel free to ask us if you need help translating your documents into french!),
- The possibility of conveying an original image of your organization via the deployment of a flagship animation such as a product presentation conference or an animation staging your know-how, (subject to availability over the 2 days and by priority according to the date of your request),

They are our greatest ambassadors! Here's what the event sounds like for them:
❝ The Salon de l'Escalade is clearly not-to-be missed appointment for us, as it remains the only event that brings together the entire climbing industry.
During the 2022 edition, we were able to discover new equipment as part of our technical watch and identify new suppliers for our cooperation and training activities.
It is also an important milestone to share with federal partners, institutional players, stakeholders of the commercial sector as well as associations involved in inclusion and environmental protection. And the show is finally an opportunity for the general public to meet those training our future climbing teachers willing to find out more, clarify their project or trigger their vocation!
The event also makes visible and in a concrete way, the CREPS (as a public establishment of the Ministry of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games) and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
In 2023, the event will allow us to disclose to professionals the results of our Climbing business survey conducted by the national resource center for outdoor sports. An important time for professionals! ❞
