  • Alpine Security and Safety

    Ice Climbing in Cogne (Italy)
    Climbing in Winter takes on a more serious note.

    Daylight hours are shorter, temperatures can fall dramatically, approach is normally on skis and there are added dangers like avalanche, ice fall and unseen crevasses.

    The     weather forecast must be checked in advance and the conditions of the routes themselves.

    All appropriate safety equipment must be carried.

    Why not hire a     UIAGM Mountain Guide?

    or do a     mountaineering course
