Climbing is a dance!
On the cliff faces you can play at being Rudolph Nuyerev or Carla Fracci, dancing over granite slabs, dihedrals or cracks, overcoming overhangs, with softened footsteps that hide an triumphant esthetical power!
Ice falls: like shoals of Salmon, ice climbers climb against the natural gravity of water (frozen into ice!)
Our rock climbing proposals cover vast areas, from the Aosta Valley to the nearby Valle dell’Arve, not forgetting the Valle dell’Orco, the Verdon gourge in France, and why not, the fabulous climbing area of Finale on the Italian coast.
For ice climbing we take you to the Valley of Cogne, to Valsavarenche and Val di Rhemes, to Valpelline and also back to France to Argentiere.
Why limit yourself? On request we can organise long distance trips to discover the best ice and rock lines available.
Technical level: Depending on personal technical and experience level, the choice of itinerary will be made directly with the guide at the moment of booking.
Climbing - Programs will be edit in April 2008
Ice Falls
| | | | An easily accessible ice fall combining sections of varied difficulty. An ice fall that can be interrupted and/or resumed at each pitch, allowing the climber to limit the climb to one or two pitches of 30 metres, or complete the fall of up to 300metres with varying difficulty from grade 3 to 5.
| | Two beautiful falls in Valnontey, easy access and well exposed to the sun. The first offers various possibilities from grade 3 to 5. for a climb of around 70 metres, the second is a small free standing, fairly narrow, between grade 4+ and 5 for a climb of 80 metres. A beautiful combination for a great days climbing.
| | SENTIERO DEI TROLL and VALMIANA Another two falls well exposed to the sun, with a slightly longer access route than the others. The first is easy – grade 3, the second is a little more difficult – grade 4, a pleasurable climb which is never over tiring.
| | Patri’ is a magical place in the area of Valnontey, a good hours walk to access to route, a silent deserted area populated by magnificent Ibex, the fall is about 300 metres and the exit point to the right is via the “Candelone” or Candle. A technical, physical, continuous grade 5 climb.
| | One of the steepest falls in the Aosta Valley, in the fascinating area of Valnontey. Situated in the heart of an isolated wilderness, a crystallised dream that any good ice climber would wish to climb, 150 metres of grade 6.
| | CANDELABRO DEL COYOTE and TUBORG In the Vallone of Valeille, two falls well exposed to the sun and very technical, both grade 5, both of 3 pitches, both easily accessible for a beautiful luminous days climbing.
| | The Cold Couloir is an alpine ascent, in the Vallone di Valeille, with the advantage of being easily accessible, an environment that imitates the goulottes of Monte Bianco, 350 metres of grade 4+.
| | Another ice fall in the Vallone di Valeille, a long access but offers a continuous ascent which increases in steepness, well lit by the sun, 300 metres of grade 5.
| | | |
Two short falls in Valsavarenche, technical enough, grade 4/4+ climb of 150 meters. The first is in the sun, the second in the shade, allowing to discover both sides of this splendid valley.
| | | | Above Ollomont, lost in the middle of the forest and in the shade, often in condition and of varying difficulty; the first being steep and technical – grade 5 climb of 100 metres, the second being less difficult, a grade 3+ climb of 150 metres.
