Description

Situated above the shores of Lake Garda in the foothills of the Italian Alps, Arco is home to some excellent via ferrata options!

Over the course of our three days together, we will go over all the necessary skills to successfully climb via ferrata and try out a few classic routes surrounding this picturesque Italian town.

Our adventure begins on day one, when we will go over the basics of climbing via ferrata and make our maiden climb along the famous Colodri Via Feratta.

As we go, we’ll enjoy plenty of fantastic views before descending back down and hiking back into Arco.

On the second and third days, we will head out on several other via ferratta climbs, starting with a medium-rated one and possibly increasing the difficulty to a harder one, if the group is up for it.

Via ferrata is a great way to climb up rock surfaces that cannot be hiked and we will be rewarded with stunning views over this part of the Alps and out over Lake Garda at the end of each climb.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for a fun and informative 3-day via ferrata climbing adventure above the stunning shores of Lake Garda in Arco, Italy!

Mountain Guide

Born in the Austrian Alps, the connection to the mountains was there from early on. Started skiing as a 3 year old kid, bit later climbing and mountaineering stepped in my live. Skiing and climbing all over the Alps and abroad became a huge part of my life.

One of my favorite places in the Alps are the mountains around Chamonix and Zermatt. Since graduating as a fully-certified Mountain guide, I’ve been able to share my passion for skiing and climbing with my guests. When I’m not guiding I try to push my personal limits in climbing and mountaineering. Looking forward reaching summits together.

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.
