Description
Unlock the true potential of your Ikon Pass with the Ikon Alps Experience in Italy's stunning Aosta Valley (Valle d’Aosta). This tailor-made ski journey is led by Enrico and Unusual Experience, a team of IFMGA-certified mountain guides and professional ski instructors who live and breathe these mountains year-round.
Rather than follow a rigid program, your trip is crafted around you — your level, your goals, your style. Whether you're chasing powder in secret freeride zones, carving corduroy across legendary pistes, or combining both in a ski safari that spans five iconic resorts (Cervinia, Courmayeur, Monterosa, La Thuile, and Pila), this is skiing as it should be: personal, powerful, and unforgettable.
With your Ikon Pass granting access to 7 days in the valley, our mission is to make every moment count. We handle all logistics — from transfers and hotel bookings to daily planning, equipment rentals, and restaurant reservations. Just bring your gear (or let us help you rent it), and get ready to ski like a local.
Whether you're a beginner seeking coaching or an expert craving untouched lines, we'll design your itinerary accordingly. The result: a zero-stress alpine experience with maximum reward.

Mountain Guide
Enrico and IFMGA Guides’ team
At the age of 15, I knew I wanted to become a mountain guide, I wanted to live in the mountains, teach and share my new passion with everyone. In 2006 I realized my dream and I became a professional certified mountain guide.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with my clients, embarking on a journey that slowly transforms the guide-client relationship into a climbing partner and often a lasting friendship. I am not and never will be a lone climber but "a fellow explorer”. My specialty is certainly climbing on ice and mixed terrain at high altitude.
With my clients I have climbed the most difficult faces in the Alps, explored mountain ranges, and traveled across America, Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Now I share all this with a group of friends and highly qualified, professional guides who will be pleased to lead and teach you whenever I am not available.
If I trust them…you can trust them too!

Manuel took us on a 4 day trip through the French Alps climbing different routes on different terrain. Amazing adventure. Thanks Enrico and Team for coordinating.
Ian
Fantastic guide, very flexible and adapted to the conditions each day. Great recommendations for restaurants too.
Ben
Enrico is a great guy and a brilliant mountain guide. He is easy to get on with and focused on developing the skills I needed to develop, adapting the itinerary to my needs and was able to provide a very worthwhile few days even in less than ideal conditions.

I had an amazing experience with Enrico! From the very beginning, Enrico was super friendly, clear in communication, and really flexible in making everything work out. The itinerary was adjusted and very personalized to my needs and experience, which made the whole trip even better. I booked two days with him, and when he wasn’t available on one of them, he made sure I was in good hands with one of his colleagues. That day I went to Cosmic Ridge, I went with Leo and he had such positive energy, motivating, empowering, and just a joy to be around. Pure good vibes! On the day Enrico was available, he took me and my whole family rock climbing at a local crag. He even picked us up and dropped us off, which was such a thoughtful touch. He really thought a lot about how to make the experience enjoyable for our 4 year old! Throughout the day, he taught us lots of useful skills, explained everything with patience, and you could really see his experience and careful approach. We always felt safe, well taken care of, and at the same time had a ton of fun. He shared his wisdom through decades of mountaineering experience too. If you’re looking for a guide who is not only professional and extremely competent but also warm, careful, and great company, I can’t recommend him enough. Truly a great guide who makes the whole experience unforgettable!
