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.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
