Ice climbing

In Valsavarenche - Photo I. Martin

Winter sport rich in emotions is ice climbing, ice falls scaled with piolet-traction. In summer, falls offer a wonderful show thanks to their fresh and forceful water; in winter, they change into majestic ice flows that, all around the period, continually modify their morphologic aspect according to temperatures and exposure. With ice-axe, crampons, helmet and harness, you will feel extreme sensations in a unique and suggestive milieu, learning to engrave on ice: an extraordinary way to live mountain. You can practice this sport with the assistance of Mountain Guides.
