January – February 2026 // Dolomites

Join me for the advanced-level mixed ice climbing days in the breathtaking Pragser Tal Valley of the Dolomites. Explore the technical aspects of ice climbing, refine your skills, and tackle more demanding routes together with me. You’ll experience the untouched beauty of icy landscapes, plus, relax in the evenings with delicious food and sauna sessions.
This course is an excellent preparation for those planning to climb the Matterhorn in the future.
Delve deep into ice climbing techniques, including efficient tool placements, precise footwork, and advanced rope work. Learn advanced safety protocols for navigating the frozen terrain, and explore a range of challenging waterfall ice routes, each with its unique character and level of difficulty.
