Description

Are you looking for a thrilling winter adventure in a breathtaking area of the Alps? Then this trip is for you. Let me take you to the Alta Valsesia Natural Park, in the Monte Rosa massif, for an awesome ice climbing experience!

Monte Rosa, on the border between Italy and Switzerland, is the second highest peak in the Alps. At the foot of this impressive ice-covered massif lies the Alta Valsesia Natural Park, the highest protected area in Europe. During the winter, there are lots of amazing frozen waterfalls to climb there!

To start this tour, we will meet in Alagna and go directly to the icefalls. On the approach, we will cross beautiful snow-covered forests and silent valleys. Once in the spot, we will give free rush to the thrill of ice climbing. At the end of the day, we will celebrate with a drink in a warm and charming hut. Furthermore, you can join me for several days!

Keep in mind that this outing requires a good fitness level and some ice climbing experience (ice axes and crampons usage). However, all ice climbers are welcome, regardless of the level. We will choose the spot depending on your skills.

So, if you want to practice ice climbing and enjoy an exciting adventure, please get in touch with me. Let’s head up the frozen waterfalls of the Alta Valsesia Natural Park, in Monte Rosa together!

I also offer a snowshoeing experience in this same area. Check it out here.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
