Summer in Italy means mountaineering for true adventurers! Join me for this 5-day advanced mountaineering course, based at Ponte di Legno.
Ponte di Legno is a charming town in the Italian Alps. It is the perfect starting point for an expedition in the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello mountain range. Depending on the exact program we define, we can stay in town every night, or we can sleep in huts in the mountain.
This mountaineering course is meant to learn advanced techniques. I can take up to 2 people with me. On the first day, we will start with some exercises to evaluate your level and make sure you know all the necessary techniques. We will practice as long as necessary for you to master the techniques, thus making sure you will be safe in the mountains. It can take only a couple of hours, or more than a day.
Some of the topics are:
– basic climbing technique
– rope work, knots
– rock climbing technique and equipment
– abseiling and belaying
– placement and removal of nuts/wires and friends
– ice axe arrest
– crampon technique
– crevasse rescue
Then, as I mentioned earlier, we will start the adventure on site, either returning to Ponte di Legno each evening or progressing from hut to hut. This will depend on your wishes and your level. The areas can include: Presanella glacier, Adamello glacier, Ortles/Cevedale range and Brenta Dolomites range.
The options in these mountains are endless! There are via ferratas, glaciers, crevasses, rocky/snowy ridges… Each day we will decide the exact itinerary together. It will be a full immersion course!
Tempted to come to the Dolomites this summer for mountaineering? Please request to book this trip and we will start making plans! And in the winter, I can take you ski touring at the Adamello glacier, check it out .

Equipment: harness, helmet, ice axe, crampons, mountaineering boots (you can rent them).

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.
