Explore its many hidden secrets and join me on this captivating climbing experience.
We'll kick things off by meeting at the departure point of the gondola early morning. From there, we'll ascend via the Tremorgio cable car and hike for around two hours to reach the starting point of our climb.
This four hour ascent will surely test your endurance, strength and technical climbing knowledge, however the breathtaking panoramic views of the stunning Pennine Alps will make it all worth it. Gaze north and take in the sight of the impressive Monte Rosa massif. To the east, the jagged peaks of the Bernese Oberland stretch out endlessly. Looking south, the view encompasses the sparkling waters of Lake Maggiore and the lush plains of the Po Valley. And to the west, the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Pennine Alps command the horizon. It's a stunning sight reserved only for those who manage to conquer Pizzo Prevat.
After admiring the beautiful panorama surrounding us, we'll begin our descent back to the cable car, which will take us approximately 2 hours, as we recount stories of our adventure.

About the guide
Matteo
Mountain Guide
I was born in Ticino in 1988. I have always frequented the mountains, first hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter with my parents, then with the Swiss Alpine Club I got into climbing and mountaineering. The passion that led me, together with many friends, to explore walls and peaks in the Alps and around the world.
Parallel to my university studies in medicine and work in a hospital, I have always cultivated a passion for the mountains, which led me in 2022 to become a mountain guide. My favorite activities are ski mountaineering in wild and lonely places and mountain climbing.
I give special importance to respecting nature and not leaving traces of our passage.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
