Description

Come with me on an experience to remember near Lake Garda. On this trip, I aim to teach women the basics of rock climbing. Together, we’ll experience a week immersed in the world of climbing.

Throughout the trip, you’ll learn about the different gear, techniques, safety system, movement and dangers on the mountains.

I’ve planned this trip so that you’ll enjoy varied and fun days. They’ll be a mixture of theory and mono-pitches, together with climbs on both via ferrata and mountainous ledges like the Sentiero dei Contrabbandieri.

The location for this trip is the Sarca Valley to the north of Lage Garda. There are excellent climbing spots here for all levels- we’ll have lots to keep us entertained. We can also camp in the valley, so together we’ll pitch our tents in the campsite and sleep there every night.

I’ll provide all the gear. You just need to show up with your tent (that can also be arranged if you don’t have one.) You’ll also need to have a decent base level of fitness because we’ll be climbing for several hours each day.

This is a unique experience in Lake Garda and one you do not want to miss. Get in touch today to sign up.

I also offer a three-day trip for intermediate and advanced female climbers in the Sarca Valley if that suits you better.

Mountain Guide

I was born in Bozen and I have been living all my life long in Fassa Valley, Dolomites. That's why my native language is ladin, a reto-romanic language spoken around Sella.

My big passion besides traveling is mountains and guiding because I love to show the people the beauty of the mountains.

I was a member of the Italian National Alpine Ski from 1990 to 1997 when I became Ski Instructor. In 2009

I became an IFMAG Mountain guide. I guide in the Dolomites, Sarca valley, Sizialian vulcanoes, Ortles Cevedale area, and Sardinia.

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.
