2 Days

Jun - Sep


Description

Join me on this 2-day ascent to the Mount Viso summit and enjoy everything this Italian wonderland has to offer.

With its very characteristic shape, this 3841-meter mountain is an emblem of the Italian valley of Po and a great classic among climbers. Its magnificent flora and fauna also make it a favorite among hikers.

We'll find ourselves surrounded by beautiful wild flowers and, if we are lucky, we might even see some animals on the way up. Marmot sightings are fairly common.

This time around, we'll climb the Mount Viso peak by its eastern edge. This route is longer than the normal route but doesn't present any technical difficulties. Lastly, on the way down, we'll use the normal route.

The ascent requires a very good physical condition and some climbing experience. We'll spend the night at the friendly Quintino Sella mountain hut. There, we'll renew our energy for the ascent on the second day.

Challenge yourself with this beautiful climb of one of the Italian Alps' most mythical mountains. This 2-day program is perfect to enjoy some of this beautiful region's highlights.

If you've always dreamed of climbing Mount Viso, this is your chance! So contact me and I'll be able to help you with the planning. We'll spend an unforgettable 2 days together.

Mountain Guide

Hi! My name is Fabien Artero, I have been a mountain leader since 2008 and mountain guide since 2014. I discovered my passion for the mountains by spending time during my youth at the Valle Argentina in Italy, in the Ligurian Alps.

I slowly discovered activities that allowed me to travel the valley along the seasons...

The mountain is a large playground. We have to play according to its mood, mountain conditions, weather and finally choose the itinerary... Which renders these activities complex and exciting.

These activities allow us to discover the valleys, massifs, the countries and people living in them. Altogether is makes for an enriching mixture from any point of view.

I wanted this to become my profession because, of the mountains, human contact and the practice of exciting activities.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
