Description

I have no doubts Serrai di Sottoguda is the best ice climbing spot of the Dolomites. And I want to invite you there to enjoy a 3-day ice climbing course.

Serrai di Sottoguda is a deep and natural gorge laying among Malga Ciapela and Sottoguda, very close to Marmolada Glacier. It is a 2-kilometer canyon surrounded by giant ice waterfalls. Besides that, the breathtaking scenery around make the place one of the most stunning areas of the region.

I have prepared a learning program suitable for all levels. During 3 unique days, you will learn the most important techniques for ice climbing. Besides that, I will adapt the content of the course according to your needs and expectations.

As a local guide I can guarantee Serrai di Sottoguda is the ideal place to start an ice climbing activity or improve your current skills. It is also possible to enjoy an easy 200-meter multi-pitch route that will allow you to put into practice all you learned.

Please find at the end of the description the different starting points you can chose depending on your convenience. Then, once you get in touch with me, we can discuss the accommodation nights. I have some great places to recommend in the area. Please feel free to ask me all the details you need to know before booking.

As a passionate about climbing in the Dolomites, I’m sure this trip will help you to face greater challenges in the future. Contact me now! Let’s plan your next ice climbing course together!

Mountain Guide

I started my career as an aerospace engineer, my first passion and then became a full-time IFMGA mountain guide, my second passion, since 2013. Working as a mountain guide gratifies me a lot. I enjoy very much transmitting my knowledge about the mountains and its activities to my friends and clients. I’m based in the Dolomites where I have climbed most of the mountain surroundings us here, including “Via attraverso il Pesce” in Marmolada and “Captain sky-hook” in Civetta. I also enjoy a lot guiding in the rest of the Alps, ice climbing, ski touring, freeride skiing, rock climbing and mountaineering. Feel free to contact me if you want to live a great adventure in the Dolomites or anywhere else in the Alps, during the winter or the summer. It will be a great pleasure for me to guide you and allow you to reach your goal.

Man

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.

Joshua

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.
