Fearing a basic and unattractive collection only made of brand booths and resulting in a solely consumerist gathering, the organizers' wish was to invent and perpetuate an event not only business-oriented for its economic protagonists but also warm, entertaining and instructive thanks to an awesome program for its Visitors.
The presence of invited european NGOs in favor environmental and social initiatives gives the event its very meaningful status, making it unmissable by a happy bunch of Verticality stakeholders in the years to come!

The event is designed for every kind of visitor, whover they are: from gear-oriented to destination-lovers enthusiasts, from beginners to experts, for the ordinary practitioners to high-level athletes, from leisure to competition issues, from boulder selective to mountaineering practice, for artificial routesetting to crag lovers, from hobby to professional approach... You name it! Everyone, whatever their aspirations, ambitions and centers of interest, will find it relevant to live this event.

For the nostalgic or the unlucky people who haven't yet been in, here is a selection of the must-see activities you could find in our previous edition of the Salon de l'Escalade!
