Ice climbing

Climbing ice walls accompanied by a Cogne Alpine Guide.

Winter frost transforms streams into solid structures. You can climb these ice walls tracing your way with ice axes and crampons. The Alpine Guides in Cogne perfectly know every hidden corner of the valley, and will accompany you to discover this real paradise of Ice Climbing.  

So…if the idea of trying ice climbing fascinates you,  you should  not miss the opportunity to visit Cogne and experience ice climbing. You will learn to use ice axes and crampons in one of the days dedicated to beginners and to those who want to improve their technique. No particular physical skills are required to experience ice climbing, but a healthy amount of curiosity.
