A group is confirmed at the reaching of the minmum number of 5 people

Day 1 – Rock climbing basics and abseiling

Meeting in the late morning at the Monterosa Booking office, equipment handover and transfer to the Fun’d Scotte crag.
You will spend the day learning about gear (ropes, carabiners, belay devices, protection) and practising the main belaying and movement techniques on rock.
The day ends with an introduction to abseiling and a first attempt at a self-managed descent.

Duration: 4–5 hours
Afterwards, ascent to Pianalunga by cable car and overnight stay at Rifugio Grand Halte.

Day 2 – Moving together and short-roping in alpine terrain

From the hut, you hike towards Col d’Olen and follow the North Ridge of Corno Rosso (3023 m).
This terrain is perfect for learning how to “read” the mountain, choose the safest line and manage the rope dynamically: storage systems, rope length variations, Machard knot and use of natural features for protection.
The traverse continues toward Passo Zube (3018 m), followed by the return to Pianalunga through Passo Foric.
Dinner and overnight at Rifugio Grand Halte.

Elevation gain: approx. 1000 m
Duration: 6–7 hours

Day 3 – Glacier travel and ascent of a 4000-metre peak

A full day dedicated to rope-team management on glacier: movement techniques, terrain assessment and risk management (crevasses, slipping, snow conditions).
The ascent of a 4000-metre peak — either Vincent or Ludwigshöhe, depending on conditions — allows you to apply everything you have learned in a real high-mountain environment.

Elevation gain: approx. 1000 m

Mountaineering, ski touring, off-piste skiing and trekking take place in a natural, uncontrolled environment.
Weather conditions, snow, ice, terrain, visibility, altitude and physical fatigue can change rapidly and directly affect the course of the activity. For this reason, there is always an inherent level of objective risk, which cannot be eliminated but only managed.

All our activities are led by IFMGA Mountain Guides and Certified Hiking Guides (AMM).
The guide continuously assesses environmental conditions and the physical and mental state of participants, sets an appropriate pace, manages progression and ensures the correct use of equipment. If conditions require it, the guide may modify the itinerary or interrupt the activity, always in the interest of individual and group safety.

Participants are required to be in good physical and mental condition, adequately prepared for the level of the activity, and to follow the guide’s instructions at all times.

Group activities

During group outings, the pace is set according to the slowest participant. In case of fatigue or discomfort, the guide may decide to adjust the programme or return early. In the mountains, the group ascends and returns together.
