Bernhard

Trip and guide were superb! Two things that should have been better: 1. I missed a more detailed describtion with an itinerary - I started the trip without exactly knowing what the plan is, since there are several options of doing the via delle Bocchette. 2. platform of explore-share: Before doing any booking I always have questions and want to clarify or specify things. But your platform seems to know only booking or not booking, although there is the questions/inquery button. Even when using this you're harrassed with booking reminders and your questions doesn't get answered! I don't know how often I stopped the booking process because of that! It just doens't help too much, when you're only able to get your answeres after the booking! Please, please make that better!

Our guide Renzo went above and beyond! He adapted perfectly to our level of experince and fitness, took us on an amazing scramble around thr mountains, and even took lots of photos and made coffee for us!

Richard

A very interesting tour of Piz Bernina with a mixture of snow/glacier and rock climbing. Definitely not easy though and requires a good head for heights. Renzo is a very good guide and has an excellent knowledge of the area and the climbing sections. As a result, we were able to quickly climb the final section from the hut and had the summit all to ourselves.
