About Rock Tirana Climbing Center

Rock Tirana Climbing Center was founded by a group of young climbers and is the city’s dedicated climbing gym, near the Student City on the Tirana–Elbasan road. Children learn the sport here, hold birthday parties and school activities, and the centre also runs courses and trips to climb outdoors in the mountains around Tirana, including the cliffs above Bovilla. It is a good contact if you want to climb during your stay; check its social pages for opening times.
