Description
If you are looking for a thrilling ice climbing course, this program is for you. Let’s go to Cogne, in northwestern Italy, for an unforgettable 6-day tour!
Located in the Aosta Valley, 1 ½ hour away from Chamonix (France), Cogne (1,534m) is an old community with a great historical and tourist appeal. It lies within the Gran Paradiso Park, which hosts some of the most breathtaking alpine landscapes of Italy.
During the winter, this wild and beautiful area turns into a paradise for ice climbers. There are more than 100 amazing frozen waterfalls in this area, in the valleys of Lillaz and Valnontey.
This 6-day trip (5 of ice climbing course) is for experienced ice climbers who want to improve skills. We will work on mixed climbing abilities on single and multi pitch routes!
Please keep in mind the activity is challenging and intense, so you will need a very good fitness level. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you.
So, if you are up for this awesome ice climbing course in the Cogne, please get in touch with me. Let me help you improve your skills in a scenic area!

About the guide
I am in the mountains all year-round, either guiding a trip or exploring on my own. Mountain guiding is not only my profession and passion but also my inner calling. I am a qualified IFMGA mountain and ski guide.
In 2012, I established my mountaineering school "Mountains" with the motto: Quality guiding on snow, rock and ice. You can count on a low client to guide ratio, reliable gear and high quality programs led by our talented team of guides. We are not adrenaline junkies - we put safety first and strive to meet and exceed all of our clients' needs.
We take great pride in having more than 30% returning clients and would be thrilled to welcome you to our "Mountains" family during your next rock, snow or ice adventure!

Amazing trip, great hotel and the food was unbelievable. The guiding was very thorough and professional and I took a lot away from it. Conditions weren't great but we definitely made the most of it
