Description

Maltatal is a beautiful valley in the Hohe Tauern mountain range, in the Austrian Alps. The valley has many waterfalls, providing an amazing world of frozen waterfalls during the winter.

When winter and cold arrive, waterfalls and smaller rigs descending into the valleys freeze. They form the perfect frozen land that is a true paradise for ice climbing lovers.

Ice climbing is the most technical version of mountaineering. It takes place in a surreal and ephemeral environment where only a great experience can make our projects possible. It is important to be aware and in control of the risks. In this way we can be safe in this unusual environment, to practice this unique discipline.

To start moving properly in this environment, I offer a full-immersion course, which will take place at the site that will present the best ice and waterfall conditions. I propose here Maltatal, in Austria. But if the conditions are not ideal, we have other options, such as Cogne, Val Aurina, Sappada or Gondo.

For this very technical course, participants are expected to have basic knowledge of climbing and safety techniques.

Tempted to learn ice climbing? Then request to book this trip and join me for 2 wonderful days in Maltatal, you won’t regret it! Or, if you want to go to Italy, I also offer a 2-day ice climbing course in Val Aurina.

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.
