Would you like to climb one of the most beautiful and classic 4000-meter peaks in the Alps? Then join me on this 4-day mountaineering tour and I will guide you to the summit of Gran Paradiso (4061m).
The Gran Paradiso is part of the Grain Alps. It lies in the Gran Paradiso National Park, between the Aosta Valley and Piedmont. It is the highest mountain entirely within Italy.
This 4-day tour is perfect for those who have a basic physical condition and want to to prepare themselves correctly to ascend the mountain. Although the Gran Paradiso does not present specific technical difficulties, it is still a high mountain environment. Gran Paradiso is very often climbed by mountaineers who want to prepare and acclimatize for a higher mountain ascent, like Mont Blanc.
This trip is also a great opportunity to discover the heart of the beautiful Gran Paradiso National Park. During the tour, we will stay in traditional mountain huts, and we may have the chance to observe alpine animals, such as ibex and chamois, on our way to the refuges.
We will meet in Courmayeur on the first day, and have a 3-4 hour acclimatization walk. The goal will be established according to the weather conditions and the group level. On the second day, I will take you up to a first easy walk on the glacier. Moving with rope, ice axe and crampons, we will become familiar with the typical environment of the high mountain, and also increase our acclimatization.
On the third day of the tour, we will go from Pont Valseverenche (1960m) to the Chabod Hut (2750m). Finally, on the fourth day, we will get to the summit of Gran Paradiso (4061m), where we will enjoy a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape and mountains. This will be the longest day, with a total of 8 hours, climbing 1311 meters up and with a descent of 2100m. You can check the itinerary below.
If you want to join me on this 4-day mountaineering tour, don’t hesitate to contact me. Send me a request and I will take you on a great mountaineering experience to the summit of Gran Paradiso!

I have been working as a mountain guide for more than ten years, and I still love my job very much! The great mountains of the Alps are my favorite playground: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso are my favorite destinations.
Great summer ascents and magnificent ski mountaineering tours in winter and spring.

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 !"
