Winter mountaineering course base & advance
Sure! Here’s the translation:
---
Are you a good climber? But have you never climbed on ice?
This 5-day course covers the fundamentals of winter mountaineering, bringing you closer to the mountains like never before through one of the most comprehensive activities in mountain environments. Taken to a high level, it forms the foundation for exploratory expeditions in wild areas.
It's a great opportunity to experience the mountains in the mid-season and winter, through ice lines in dihedrals and cracks that are absent and unimaginable in milder seasons: our alpine guides will help you live this adventure!
The courses will begin with a general overview through PowerPoint presentations covering snow, avalanches, mountain hazards, and some basic meteorology and topography: these topics will be the focus of two dedicated evenings.
**Basic Level**
Day 1: Dry tooling or climbing with ice axes and crampons on rock walls only; belaying on rock, ice, and rappelling.
Day 2: High mountain ascent
Day 3: High mountain ascent
**Advanced Level**
Day 1: Dry tooling or climbing with ice axes and crampons on rock walls only; crevasse rescue maneuvers and some belaying on rock/ice and rappelling.
Day 2: Climbing and belaying on ice, rock, and snow.
Days 3-4-5: High mountain ascents in couloirs and mixed terrain (rock and ice).
**Required Grade:** At least 6a in the gym and 5+ in the mountains.
Alpine skis may be useful for approaches; groups will be formed based on the skills of those who ski and those using snowshoes (which are less comfortable for descents). Depending on environmental conditions, outings will take place in high mountain areas such as Adamello-Presanella or Mont Blanc.
**N.B.: Inform your guide in advance of any medical and/or physical conditions, allergies, or anything else that could negatively impact the activity and create danger for yourself, your companions, and the guide.**
