Description

Monviso or Mont Viso, the mythical summit of Italians! This magnificent mountain, which can be seen from anywhere, is truly a great peak to explore and discover.

At 3841 m, Mont Viso is the highest peak in the Cottian Alps, a mountain range located on the border between northwestern Italy and northeastern France. It lies on the Italian side and is famous for its pyramid-like shape and because it’s 500 meters higher than all the mountains that surround it, so it can be seen from a great distance.

On this 2-day ascent, we’ll climb to the summit of this stunning mountain. We’ll spend the night in a mountain hut, so you’ll experience the traditional Italian mountaineering atmosphere. There are different routes that we can take. I like the Eastern edge in particular. It's a spectacular ridge offering breathtaking views! You can find an outline of the itinerary below.

If you would rather just hike in the area, you can also join this 4-day Mont Viso hiking program!

So, would you like to climb to the top of Mont Viso? Then I invite you to contact me. I would really enjoy taking you to the summit!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
