Description

I invite you to a full ski touring day in the stunning Italian Alps. We will be in the Park dell’Adamello. From the Tonale pass, we will go to two of the most famous ski touring destinations of the area: Pisgana and Pisganino.

Pisganino includes an ascent of 400m, with a wonderful descent of over 2500m. And Pisgana is another gem, with a 650m ascent and an impressive descent of 2750m.

There are different possible access points to the Pisgana glacier. Since this is a one day program, I chose the one that includes the shortest climb. Therefore, the starting point of this ascent is Pisgana pass. Besides a short ascent, this routes allows us to descend Pisganino if the conditions in Pisgana are not appropriate.

We will meet in Ponte di Legno, in the province of Brescia, and start the tour at Passo Tonale. There, we take the lifts up to Presena pass (2950m). Then we descend on the southern side down to the Mandrone hut (2500m). Using skins or snowshoes, we ascend to Pisgana pass (2933m). Once we are up there, we have the option to descend following the Pisganino itinerary. Or, if the conditions are apt and you are up for it, we go up an additional 250m, and from there descend the Pisgana.

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.
