Join me on this ice climbing program in Cogne, in the beautiful Aosta Valley. This is one of the best spots in Europe for this fantastic winter mountaineering activity. Join me for a 1-day or multiple-day program!
As an IFMGA mountain guide from Val d'Aosta, I love bringing my clients and friends to Cogne to experience a good time on amazing ice falls.
Cogne is a perfect spot for ice climbing. It is accessible for every skill level, from beginners to experienced ice climbers. I will be happy to give you the basics if you have never done it before. If you are experience already, I will focus on giving you the right tips to improve, and allow you to be autonomous.
This program includes both theoretical and practical sessions. I will adapt the program to the time you have available, and your goals.
The duration of this program can be adjusted to your availability and goals. For programs of 2 or more days, I recommend staying in the charming Ondezana hotel in Cogne, a perfect base camp for the ice climbers.
We will be climbing walls of a minimum of 150 meters high by 2.
In order to ensure maximum safety, groups on this program are of up to 4 guests.
If you would like to have a first-hand account, have a look at this article in which 2 Belgian climbers share their experience of climbing with me back in January 2017.
I look forward to having you in one of my tours very soon!

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.
