Description

If you want to get started in the exciting world of ice climbing, or you are looking to improve your skills, this journey in Sappada ice falls is just for you.

Sappada is a small village in the province of Belluno, in Northern Italy. It stands in the border between Italy and Austria, and is part of the Dolomites.

It’s a beautiful alpine valley of green hills, coniferous forests, waterfalls and lagoons.

Mount Peralba (2694 m), Pic Cjadenis (2490 m) and Mount Lastroni (2450 m), are among the highest peaks in the area.

Sappada is a reference point for ice climbers, as it offers a wide variety of ice falls. In fact, it has three areas with several routes from road-side single pitches, to 5-6 pitch routes high up in the mountains.

I strongly recommend this place for those who want to start ice climbing activity, as it has easy multi-pitch routes until 200 m. Nevertheless, we can design personalized programes for all levels, according to your wishes and expectations.

During this trip, you will use a basic ice climbing equipment, like harness, helmet, crampons and ice axes. In fact, you can rent everything there.

Mountain Guide

I started my career as an aerospace engineer, my first passion and then became a full-time IFMGA mountain guide, my second passion, since 2013. Working as a mountain guide gratifies me a lot. I enjoy very much transmitting my knowledge about the mountains and its activities to my friends and clients.

I’m based in the Dolomites where I have climbed most of the mountain surroundings us here, including “Via attraverso il Pesce” in Marmolada and “Captain sky-hook” in Civetta. I also enjoy a lot guiding in the rest of the Alps, ice climbing, ski touring, freeride skiing, rock climbing and mountaineering.

Feel free to contact me if you want to live a great adventure in the Dolomites or anywhere else in the Alps, during the winter or the summer. It will be a great pleasure for me to guide you and allow you to reach your goal. I work with other mountain guides in the Veneto area, such as Filippo, Massimo, and my brother Daniele. If I am unavailable on the date you are interested in coming climbing, skiing, or engaging in other activities with me, I can connect you with one of them.

3 stars Marmolada is due to weatherconditions. Lack of new snow. Enrico found good snow in parts of the glacier. 5 stars to him. Before we went up to the glacier, Enrico took us for a testride offpiste to see if we would be able to ski difficult conditions. Very good.

To be honest we are very disappointed. We signed up for the day of free ride on Marmolada but Enrico wisely said the snow conditions were not conducive for doing that. He offered to do other activities (specifically ski touring) but that is not what we paid for or signed up for, and did not want to do that. Since he offered “alternative activities” it appears we lose 100% of the cost per Explore-Share policy. This is extremely unfair. Enrico seemed like a good guy and probably a very good guide, but I would NOT recommend Explore Share to anyone! Terrible experience for an expensive day.

Geremia was great to have for my first time ice climbing. He went over all the basics and gave me tips on my climbing that really helped out. All of this in a beautiful location! Highly recommended!

Enrico was extremely knowledgeable of the area and was able to put us in great snow despite the lack of snowfall over the past few weeks. Wonderful day!
