Looking for a challenging climb to a beautiful peak in the Apennines? Then this ascent to Corno Grande in the Gran Sasso National Park is perfect for you.
Situated in the Gran Sasso d’Italia massif, Corno Grande is the highest summit in the Apennines and the Italian Peninsula. It has an altitude of 2,912 meters and offers an incredible view from its summit.
The meeting point of this trip will be Piazzale di Campo Imperatore, located in L’Aquila province of the Abruzzo region. Once we reach Corno Grande’s summit, we will get to see the incredible views of the Calderone glacier, Corno Piccolo and the Adriatic Sea.
Take into account that the difficulty of this program is high. You will cover a distance of 10 kilometers and experience an elevation gain of around 850 meters during the hike. Consequently, it is important to have prior mountaineering experience and to be physically fit to join this trip.
So, if you find this program appealing, send your request to book it now and get ready for a fantastic experience in Gran Sasso d’Italia massif!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
