Description

Ice climbing is a fantastic winter activity. And the ice climbing in the Piemonte valley in the Alps of Italy is incredible. During the winter season, the scenery of the Piemonte valley is stunning as well, so on top of the joy of ice climbing, you will also have plenty to gaze at and admire during this day long excursion.

There is an assortment of different areas in the area to choose from. Those areas include Valsesia, the Val Germanasca, the Val Varaita and the Valley of the Orco.

Any of those places offers a unique and fun ice climbing experience. However, what they all share in common is that the ice climbing in each area is not too difficult. instead, they are all perfect for beginners. Furthermore, each area will provide you with a great platform to learn the basics of safe ice climbing.

In the beginning of the day, we will provide a brief introduction to ice climbing techniques. And then, for the rest of the day, we will put those techniques into practice. We will safely climb, using a rope from above, and shoot with different angles and methods. We will do that in order for you to see and understand the basic principles of ice climbing.

Ice climbing is a wonderful, exciting activity. However, it is important to learn how to do it properly and safely. That is why I feel this course is beneficial because it will teach you, while also motivating you to continue learning, as there are few things more thrilling than ice climbing. It also doesn’t hurt when you get to do it in a place as beautiful as the Piemonte valley.

So if you want to join me, just send me a request, and let me guide you.

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.
