+1 Day

Jan - Mar, May - Dec


Description

Learn to climb independently on multi-pitch climbing routes or just let me show you around Pollino National Park. This incredible natural area is a climber’s paradise!

Pollino National Park is the largest national park in Italy. It is located in the south of the country, in Basilicata and Calabria. The park offers a pristine natural environment and a wide variety of flora and fauna.

The course option is aimed at those who have already completed a basic climbing course. The minimum required level is the 5b / c second. To start with, you’ll learn about the gear you’ll need. After that, you’ll practice setting anchors and abseiling, among other things.

However, if you just want to enjoy a fun day of climbing, I can take you to the best spots. This national park has many hidden gems that only a local guide can tell you about! Also, I’m a passionate climber and love sharing my knowledge of the local mountains with others.

Some of the climbing spots we might go include Frascineto and Timpa Porace.

You could bring your friends and family and fit this day around your Italian vacation in the province of Consenza.

Contact me now and let’s start planning for an amazing adventure. I promise a day filled with excitement and, in addition, a great learning experience!

Mountain Guide

I am an aspirant guide and climbing instructor based in Campobasso, Molise, Italy. My passion for mountain activities began at a young age when I first saw what rock climbing was about during a trip to Gran Sasso. Since then, the mountains have represented a wide range of emotions for me: awe, a sense of adventure, even fear. Eventually, I felt the need to share these feelings with others and decided to pursue a career as a guide. I became an aspirant mountain guide in November 2014.

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.
