Course level 1 - Long week-end

This is an abbreviated version of the 5-day level one course. It is for complete beginners and will cover the basic techniques of how to move on ice and safe rope work. A reasonable level of fitness is necessary since the approaches are up to one hour long and the longer climbs require some stamina.

  • Day 1 - Thoule, Valnontey. Grade 3. 45min approach. A good place to get to grips with the basics.
  • Day 2 - Il Sentiero dei Troll, Valnontey. Grade 3. 350m. 1hr approach. This is a popular classic which is never too steep.
  • Day 3 - L’Acheronte, Valnontey. Grade 3. 400m. Approach 1hr 30mins. A very nice line in a beautiful high mountain setting.

NB: The programme may be altered to accommodate changes in conditions or the level of the group.
