Description

The Aosta Valley in Italy is very well known and popular with visitors from around the world. Located in the Alps of Italy and surrounded by a number of welcoming towns, it is a great place to take a vacation. Along with the fantastic accommodation options, there are also a number of wonderful activities visitors can enjoy as well. And, on this 2-day trip, you will get to enjoy one of the most popular activities in the valley: ice climbing.

During this trip, I would like to guide you on an ice climbing trip you will never forget. There are a number of great ice climbing spots you can choose from during this trip. And, because the trips lasts 2 full days, you will get to enjoy several of those options. The one place we will definitely be visiting and enjoying in the Aosta Valley is Cogne, which is home to some of the best ice falls in the entire area.

Due to the variety of ice climbing options available during this trip, people of varying skill levels can enjoy it. However, due to the physical nature of ice climbing, regardless if you are a beginner or expert, it is important that participants are in good physical condition.

Filled with beauty, both natural and man-made, the Aosta Valley is an amazing place. That beauty only gets better as you get to admire it while scaling a frigid ice fall. To join me on this 2-day adventure, please send a request.

I also offer a great via ferrata trip in the Susa Valley, near Torino.

About the guide

Piergiorgio

Mountain Guide

My name is Piergiorgio. I was born in the warm south of Italy and grew up in Florence where I first started climbing.

At the age of 21 I graduated with a degree in Forestry and Environmental Sciences, yet rock climbing had energized my life in such a positive way that I realized that I had to live fully in the vertical world.

It was then that radically transformed my life to pursue my dream of becoming a Mountain Guide and so I moved to Torino to gain the experience and skills required to pass the rigors of my trade.

I'm an IFMGA Mountain Guide.

Join me! I can’t wait to share my greatest passion with enthusiasm and awareness in my favorite environments. After gaining experience and increasing my ability in each discipline, I participated in the IFMGA Aspirant Mountain Guides course and graduated in 2017. Nowadays, my greatest passion is to share with enthusiasm and awareness the most incredible environment: our Alps.

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!

Maxine

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.
