Description

Monte Conero is a mountain in the Adriatic Sea south of the city of Ancona, in Central Italy. On this 1-day program, I would like to invite you to explore this beautiful mountain and discover its incredible views and natural areas. If you love hiking through the wilderness, you can’t miss this chance!

Our traverse will begin in Fonte d’Olio and we’ll follow a route across the mountain that will lead us through different beautiful natural spots. We’ll go to Pian Grande and Piani di Ragetti and contemplate spectacular panoramic views from natural balconies. Also, we’ll visit incredible caves, such as Grotte Romane and Grotta Mortarolo, and observe fantastic geological formations.

On the traverse, we’ll follow the Belvedere Nord route to the summit and share lunch in the middle of the mountain. Then, we’ll continue across Belvedere Sud and reach Passo del Lupo from where we’ll admire the contrast of the blue sea and the white rocks. In addition, we’ll have the chance to visit the Badi di San Pietro on the hike.

Please, keep in mind that this excursion has a medium level of difficulty and that we’ll face an elevation gain of 470 meters. Therefore, it’s important to have a good level of fitness for this trip.

So, are you ready for this adventure in the gorgeous Monte Conero? Then all you have to do is send the request to book your place. It will be a pleasure for me to be your guide on this traverse.

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.
