My gf and I have joined the parenting club last June. Gone are the days of taking Fridays off from work and going climbing for three days with your friends, or spending a day in freezing weather climbing.
Fortunately, we have climbing friends with similarly aged children. However, I'm a bit lost about where to actually go the next couple of years. We went to Fontainebleau in October but I'd rather not go there every holiday and we both prefer sport over bouldering. We usually went to Finale once a year, but the approaches are relatively long and most crags are not child friendly. Siurana doesn't really have many good cliffs either, nor does any other place I've been to in Spain and France. Routes in Leonidio were so poorly cleaned that I'd be hesitant to go there with children and Greece is far.
I would be very happy for some child-friendly holiday destination recommendations. Ideally in driving distance from Zurich (e.g. France, northern Italy), but places with good flight connections are ok. Sport climbing preferred although bouldering is fine if the destination is worth it. Must have a good variety of routes 7a-7c.
PS: I rarely post and mostly lurk here, but this forum has good climbing info, good banter and is one of the few sane places on the internet, so it seemed the obvious place to ask even though I'm not from the UK.
