THE PROGRAM:

Enjoy a weekend of Cogne Ice Climbing in one of Italy’s most iconic winter destinations.
The Val di Cogne, in the heart of the Aosta Valley, offers some of the most beautiful and famous icefalls in Europe.
Here you can experience routes suited for every skill level, from beginners to expert climbers.
Beginners can start on accessible and safe icefalls like the Amphitheatre Lillaz, perfect for learning basic techniques.
More advanced climbers will find challenging classics such as Patry, Lillaz Gully, Stella Artice, Pattinaggio Artistico, Flash Estivo, Hard Ice on the Rock, and Cold Couloir.
These routes require solid climbing skills, proper use of technical equipment, and excellent physical fitness.
Meanwhile, expert climbers can test themselves on legendary routes of the Cogne Ice Climbing scene: Super Repentance, Di Fronte al Tradimento, and Lau Bij.
Each ascent offers an intense mix of power, technique, and emotion in a frozen vertical world.
During this Ice Climbing Aosta Valley adventure, you’ll stay in a comfortable B&B in the Cogne area.
This allows flexibility to choose the best routes in Valnontey or Valeille, depending on your ability and ice conditions.
Professional IFMGA guides ensure safety, progression, and unforgettable experiences on the best frozen waterfalls in Italy.
Join Peakshunter Mountain Guides and make your Cogne Ice Climbing weekend a true alpine adventure filled with challenge and beauty.
