Ice climbing

Climbing on the iced waterfalls has had in the last few years an incredible evolution. The development of the rock climbing has determined the increase of the lovers’ number; they consider the ice falls the natural continuation of the summer activity. The continuous cold of the winter months permits the formation of architectonical structures as pleasant on the aesthetical point of view as changeable. When the conditions are favourable, the lovers grind the instruments that consent them to climb on the waterfalls that someone define real work of art of the nature. The technical ice axes in hand and the crampons are sufficient to claw the ice and climb flows of every difficulty.

We advise to practice the Ice-climbing only accompanied by a professional man able to guarantee the safety of the climbing.
