Winter in the mountains, there is not only skiing or snowboarding, there are many outdoor activities that can be practiced with family and friends with more or less sensations. They are accessible for all tastes and all budgets. Snooc presents 5 activities that you can practice during your next stay in the mountains.

Ice climbing

Ice climbing is an exemplary climbing and mountaineering activity that developed during the 1970s. Today, the activity is accessible to all, provided that the terrain is adapted to its level. To begin, no need to remind you of the spot of Champagny en Vanoise with instructors who will give you the right advice and give you a maximum of pleasure.

Otherwise for the experts from the Dolomites to the Vanoise National Park there is something for everyone... The cold during the winter makes it possible to keep the ice spots more or less long.

It is an activity that consists in moving with ice axes and spiked crampons on ice cascades, for example ice corridors and ice falls or solidified waterfalls in winter.

Ice climbing requires that many safety aspects be taken into account: making sure that you have the right equipment, that the ice is hard enough to climb on and that you have crampons and ice axes.
