This 2 day ascent of the Pilastro Vincent (4,045m) is a wild, challenging and exhilarating journey.
Located in the lost valley of the Piode glacier, in the Alps of Italy, the Pilastro Vincent is a jagged peak of red rock.
Over the course of 2 days, you will get to feel an incredible thrill, while enjoying some amazing views of one of the lesser known areas of the Italian Alps. however, don’t let the hidden nature of the Pilastro Vincent fool you because it is an amazing peak. The climb can be difficult however. But it is the challenge that makes the experience so special.
Each day of this trip is unique and exciting. To start, on the first day, we will walk for approximately 5-6 hours from Alagna to the Guglielmina hut. The first day’s climb will see us ascending almost 1,900 metres. At the hut, formally known as the Valsesia hut, you will get much needed rest for the day to come.
On day 2 of our journey, we will make our way to the Piode glacier. The glacier is a sight to behold, and you will get plenty of time to admire it. Afterwards, we will climb another 400 metres. This part of the adventure will be tough. It will involve some careful manoeuvring because the angles are a challenge. However, when you complete the difficult, yet satisfying ascent, you will be granted even more spectacular views. After that, we will make our way to the lifts that will take us back to the Indren glacier.
The challenge and the wild surroundings of the Pilastro Vincent make it perfect for those with adventurous spirits. And it is my pleasure to help you satisfy the desires of that spirit. So if you are looking for a thrill and a challenge in the Italian Alps, please send me a request and let me guide you up the Pilastro Vincent.

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
