Fernie (Canada)
January 25th - February 1st 2020
A week in the beautiful western town of Fernie, a true winter playground for off-piste skiers.
Niseko - Hokkaido region (Japan)
January 12th - 20th 2020
Do you know where the word Japow came from? Niseko, the best powder snow of the world. Here you can enjoy the driest snow powder with 14 5o 19 meters of snow each season.
Lyngen Alps (Norway)
May 8th - 15th 2020
A week above the Arctic Circle. The Lyngen peninsula is located at the center of an archipelago of islands surrounded by fjords and mountains. We will combine the charm of starting from the beach with the skins to conquer peaks with breathtaking views. Skiing with the impression to dive into the sea.
Svalbard (Spitzbergen)
May 16th - 24th 2020
A ski mountaineering week on a sailing boat in the Svalbard islands, one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas. Every day if the weather permitting, we will do a ski mountaineering tour.
Jackson Hole (Wyoming)
Jackson Hole is a small cozy country town in northeastern Wyoming, with nice shops, great restaurants and a beautiful ski resort ideal for off-piste and backcountry skiing.
We will take the lifts and then we will go on by foot or with skins to reach spectacular descents in a unique environment.
Jackson Hole is within easy reach from Europe thanks to his airport where we will rent a car to move easily from the hotel to the ski resort.
Iceland
Iceland is a true paradise with a unique wilderness. The mountains of the Troll Peninsula in the north of the island are in no way inferior to those of the Alps and allow you to make numerous ski mountaineering trips to enjoy the view of the magnificent fjords and the Arctic glacial ocean.
Mount McKinley (Alaska)
If seeing these pictures you want to climb Denali in Alaska (USA), the highest mountain in North America, contact me for information about next expedition.
Kilimanjaro
Here is the proposal for the Fall: the climb of Kilimanjaro with its 5,895 meters is the highest mountain of the African continent. The Marangu route, by far the most famous and beautiful climbing route, is suitable for mountaineers normally trained or hikers looking for new perspectives.
Mount Kenya
And here's the alternative for next Fall or Winter: the climb of Mount Kenya. It is not the highest mountain on the African continent, only the second, but surely it is the most beautiful. Unlike Kilimanjaro which is an immense volcano in the middle of African savannah, Mount Kenya is a true mountain range with a dozen peaks that exceed 4,000 m.
Climbing in Thailand
Thailand and in particular the Krabi Province are the ideal destination for climbing enthusiasts looking for an alternative to habitual cliffs, combining climbing, sea, nature and relaxation, a perfect cocktail for an unforgettable journey. The "Climbing in Thailand" program allows you to stay right in the heart of Phra Nang Peninsula where you can walk to the many cliffs. There is also the possibility to stay a few days on Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" was shot and where there are some beautiful climbing routes.
South-West USA
This was my first trip to the USA and I would recommend it to those who want to combine a holiday to discover the national parks with climbing in the most beautiful American Southwestern sites. The program is very detailed and you can use it to organize your trip or just take a few ideas for nice spots. If you are interested in traveling with a Alpine Guide or if you want to climb Yosemite, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Mount Everest
April 13 - June 12, 2005
During Spring 2005, I participated at the Everest Vitesse 2005 Expedition. With other Aosta Valley Alpine Guides I have been assisting the skyrunner Bruno Brunod during his attempt to Ascending and Descending Everest record. The chosen route was the normal North side route (Tibet). I could not reach the summit because the attempt failed at Camp 3 at 8,100 m. where I was waiting for Bruno. Our role, as Mountain Guides, was to support Bruno and take care of his security, and so it was done. A bit of bitterness for the missed summit but a great experience to repeat.
Climbing in Yosemite
If you are interested in reaching the top of EL CAPITAN on the NOSE or SALATE route or if you climb the HALF DOME from one of the many climbing routes you can contact me and I will be happy to give you all the information.
