Description

The Valle dell’Orco is a beautiful valley in the Piedmont area of Italy. Truly picturesque, the valley was given its name because of the river that flows through it, the Orco river.

Rock climbing in the Valle dell’Orco is an amazing activity. There are a number of different rock faces in the valley that rests at the foot of the majestic Gran Paradiso mountain (4,061m).

On this day trip, you will have an abundance of options as to which wall you can climb. The heights of the walls range from 170 metres to 250 meters. Some walls are more difficult than others. However, because there are so many different walls to choose from, people of all climbing levels can enjoy them. Thus making this trip one that is every bit as accessible as it is exciting.

The options from which you can choose include the Aimonin Tower, which has the Spill and April Fish walls. There is also the Sergent, which has the Nautilus, Places Wire, and the Incastromania walls. Finally, there is the Caporal, which has the Pachiderma plus Rattle Snake Ear, and the Sun Solar walls.

The Valle dell’Orco is a fun, beautiful, thrilling place with a wonderful variety of walls that you can scale. And it would be my pleasure to guide you on any one of them. So if you want to spend a day climbing up rock faces that lay just underneath one of Italy’s largest and most impressive mountains, the Gran Paradiso, send me a request.

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.
