Description

If you’re an admirer of the mountains but are yet to climb the steep rocks, then a via ferrata is the ideal introduction for you.

Via ferratas are climbing made easy. With the aid of ladders, steel cables and aerial walkways fixed into the rock, the steep ascents are more manageable in order to conquer new heights.

Today a great way to conquer the steep mountains, via ferratas emerged from the dark chapters of history during the First World War. Several via ferratas were constructed in the Dolomites section of the Alps to aid soldiers move quicker and more conveniently when navigating the rocky terrain.

Despite the steely assistance of the cables and footholds, the climb is still steep and presents challenges. The exhalation of the climb will guarantee that the adrenaline will course through your body the whole trip.

And make sure to take regular moments to appreciate the majestic alpine mountainside around the town of Chamonix.

Mountain Guide

I'm an IFMGA mountain guide from Romania and a member of the Austrian Mountain Guides Association (VOBS) and the East European Mountain Guides Association(EEMGA).

My passions are alpinism, rock and ice climbing and ski touring. Over the last decade and a half I have climbed and skied all corners of the World, spent numerous seasons guiding in the Himalayas, New Zealand, Alps and the Carpathians Mountains.

My primary concern as your guide is your safety. With that comes a great deal of fun, learning and engaging in experiences that will be memorable for a lifetime. I hope to have the opportunity to climb with you and help you achieve climbs, summits and experiences not yet imagined!

I have a very strict policy on guide-to-guest ratios for all types of terrain and these are clearly explained prior to engagement. For multi pitch climbs it is usually 1:1 and it never exceeds 1:2. For single pitch venues (especially on instructional outings) it never exceeds 1:4. Higher ratios are possible with the hiring of additional guides and only following prior arrangements. For treks and ski tours the ratios are more generous but depending on the terrain and/or the group’s experience.

I am comfortable in using for guiding and teaching purposes the following languages: English and Romanian.

Yuri

It was an amazing experience. Daniel Pobega was excellent. Calm, friendly and very professional. Will definitely book another trip with him if not Vallee Blanche but other future activities.

We had a great time , unfortunately Cosmin broke his arm two weeks before the trip but the replacement guide Nicu Durnac was superb.

The plan was to leave early to ascent Mont Blanc via Trois Monts. As a beginner, Cosmin accessed my performance by timing my ascent to the shoulder of Tacul, else he has to change the plan. I met the timing and proceeded to Maudit. Unfortunately, he made a tough decision to head back as the condition at the foot of Maudit was not great. (We heard serac fell at mid day). Being professional, Cosmin changed the plan to ascent Tacul and we did Cosmique Arete. I would highly recommend this trip!

Katherine
