Description
Are you ready for a mountaineering adventure you will never forget? How about a 2-day ascent to Gran Paradiso (4,061 m)? Prepare to conquer your first 4,000m peak in the Italian Alps!
Known for being the 7th highest peak in the Graian Alps, Gran Paradiso (4061m) lies between the Aosta Valley and Piedmont regions. It’s located in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park. This 2-day ascent is the perfect opportunity to explore this area’s stunning wilderness.
We’ll start our expedition by driving to the Pravieux mountain (1,834 m) located in the Valsavarenche region. From there, we’ll ascend to our beautiful Chabod Refuge ( 2750 meters) where we’ll rest and prepare for our summit attack. On the following morning, we’ll reach the Gran Paradiso Summit.
Even though Gran Paradiso is considered to be one of the easiest 4,000 meter peaks in the Italian Alps, some mountaineering experience will be required. Additionally, all participants must be in good physical shape.
As you can see, Gran Paradiso offers the ideal setting for un unforgettable 2-day trip. Send your request and book your place! I will make sure to accommodate to your wishes and needs.

Mountain Guide
My name is Marco Bigatti, nicknamed “Il Biga”. I was born in Milan, I started climbing in 2006 and since then I have not been able to tear myself away from the vertical world. I turned my passion into a job, becoming Mountain Guide in October 2017, the first mountain guide that lives all the year in Sardinia.
I experience the mountains from a 360-degree point of view. I have practiced all disciplines of climbing in the Alps: rock climbing, alpinism, ice climbing , as well as ski mountaineering.
In addition to alpinism, I love pure sport climbing, seeking out the best climbing sectors throughout the entire Alpine range. But it was in Sardinia that I found a paradise of crags, in particular in the south-west of the island, where you are able to enjoy all types of climbing throughout the year.
I offer climbing day or trips for beginners or experienced climbers who need a guide, multipitch packages for those who want to live an alpine experience, climbing courses, all-inclusive climbing holiday with accommodation in our nice B&B by the sea, guided trekking and mountain biking tours.

We had an amazing experience with Marco! He is super professional, very easy to communicate with, and took us to incredible climbing spots. Marco is reliable and made sure we could enjoy climbing in a way that felt both safe and exciting. Thanks to him, we had such a fun and unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Guide Marco was great and kept me safe and informed throughout the trip. Ok trip b/c of lighting. Also, I was tired due to allergies and this wasnt best time for me to go up. Also, after coming back home I found out that we had used the whole trail through the moraine at the bottom of the glacier when in reality a guidebook I had showed we should have the upper part of the trail on the ridge (above moraine) which would have avoided much walk in the unstable rocks. We took that part of the trail on the descent but could have used it on the way up as well, according to my guidebook on mt blanc. Probably wouldnt have changed too much but contributed to my tiredness from, in part, due to my lack of experience on moraine/rock filled trails. Overall a good experience though
William
He was extremely skilled and educated on the surrounding area and was very flexible with anything I wanted to do.

Marco helped us get accustomed with the gear, belaying and all that and we felt safe all the way. This was our first multi pitch experience and is sure was the highlight of our trip! Hope to come again 🤗
