I'm a certified Mountain guide (IFMGA) and physician of L'Aquila. My curiosity and enthusiasm took me to the mountains of the world: North America, Norway, Turkey, Morocco, Iran, Kirghistan, Alaska,Gerogia,Canada guiding on ski touring trips and for climbing. Being fascinated by the high mountains in summer I divide my time guiding among the 4000m of the Alps, being based at Chamonix and Briancon. In winter I ski with my clients on the mountains of the Apennine – Gran Sasso, escaping sometimes for travelling towards a new climb or a new place to ski.

If you can climb indoor walls and want to try the real mountain, this trip is for you. Follow me to Abruzzo, Italy, for a **2-day alpine rock climbing course**!

**Abruzzo is a region in southern and central Italy**, stretching from the Apennines to the Adriatic Sea. Known as “the greenest region in Europe”, **half of its territory is protected by national parks and protected reserves**. Its mountainous region boasts a vast plateau, including Gran Sasso, the highest peak of the Apennines, and Mount Majella.

On this 3-day course, **I will take you to the best spots of Abruzzo for an exciting alpine climbing course**. With many rock peaks soaring skywards, **we will face a stunning high altitude universe**. Furthermore, we will immerse ourselves in a **unique natural environment** featuring narrow gorges, wild valleys, lush forests, and beautiful lakes and waterfalls!

The goal of my program is that you learn the basic skills of alpine rock climbing: security techniques, knots, equipment usage, rope climbing, maps, and environmental aspects. **At the end of this experience, you will deal independently with the easy multi-pitch routes of the Apennines (grades III and IV)!**

Please note that this course requires **basic knowledge of indoor sport climbing**, basic safety and knotting techniques, and a **good fitness level** (for 1-2 h of climbing).

**So, if you are ready to jump from the gym to the real rocks, please contact me. Come to Abruzzo for an exciting 2-day alpine rock climbing course!**

During the winter, you can also join this [**thrilling snowkiting program**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/learn-basics-snowkiting-campo-imperatore-1-day-course-abruzzo-italy/) in this same area.

**Campo Imperatore is an alpine meadow located in the Gran Sasso massif**, in the Italian region of Abruzzo. Known as the “Little Tibet”, it lies next to the Apennines’ highest peak, Corno Grande, and Europe’s southernmost glacier, the Calderone. 

**The goal of my 1-day course is to teach you basic snowkiting skills.** Campo Imperatore, with an area of 80km², no trees, and surrounded by huge peaks, is a perfect spot to try this amazing sport.

During the activity, that includes an hour of theory and at least three hours of practice, you will learn the following techniques: **wind and kite notions, equipment usage, safety skills, takeoff and landing, and flight exercises.**

We will use the most modern and safe gear, which adapts to different weather conditions. To participate, **you need to know how to ski or snowboard, but not necessarily at an expert level**.
