Ice climbing in Cascate di Patri 1-day trip, Cogne Valley

If you already have ice climbing experience, join me on this 1-day trip to the impressive Cascate di Patri icefalls, in the Cogne Valley, northern Italy.

The Cascate di Patri (300 m) is ideal for people who already have a good ice climbing level. Also, it's perfect if you are looking for a challenge of greater difficulty. It's a TD + (III / 4) level route.

From the village of Valnontey, and beyond the Valmiana, we reach the Efaulet bridge, at the foot of the Gran Paradiso massif. Then, on the left, we find the Patri Icefall. It's a really majestic setting. The approaching time is about one hour.

The Cogne Valley is considered by many as the top ice climbing venue in Italy. It's part of the Aosta Valley and it's located in the Gran Paradiso National Park. It offers an inmense variety of ice and mixed routes of different length, for all levels .

This trip is suitable for climbers with easy classical mountaineering experiences, that include the use of crampons. Also, you should have experiences on easier icefalls, like the Cascate di Lillaz. You can also take a look at the trip I offer there.

Please note you need to be in good shape in order to join this ice climbing day.
