The routes

After a great first pitch the difficulties ease off somewhat. Watch out for avalanches.

If there is snow cover the icefall is extremely dangerous. The third pitch is outstanding.

Nice line first ascended in 1983 by the forerunner of ice climbing Alessandro Jaccod. Beware of avalanche danger after heavy snowfall.

Nice sunny climb, not to be missed. Carefully assess the period and stability if the ice. The final belay is difficult to find, search for it beneath a small overhang on the left. This is a 5 star icefall... or...

The first 30m are great, but then the climbing becomes slightly less interesting. An excellent end-of-the-day climb.

Another great creation by the legendary Alessandro Jaccod. On the second pitch do not belay on the old peg belay on the left, but continue on to the top and belay on the right (bolts).

This was the first ice fall in Gressoney ascended by Alessandro Jaccod, the father of piolet-traction in Valle d'Aosta. Once you've reached the path it's well worth spending 10 minutes visiting the old village from which the icefall gets its...

Ollomont and its icefalls are a real paradise, immersed in absolute peace and tranquility beneath Mont Vela and Grand Combin, far removed from the better known areas in the Aosta region. Gomorra is located to the right of Sodoma.

Beautiful mid grade ice climb which is never steeper than 90°. The cave on the second pitch is highly evocative.

Val Ferret is located close to Courmayeur and offers two mid-grade icefalls which can be reached easily and are, above all, situated in an amazing backdrop. The climbs are located at the foot of Mont Blanc, directly in front of...

Great free-standing drip, equip the belay in the niche where the drip originates from.
