Ice Climbing in Cogne, Italy with Matthias Scherer
Manage episode 383957563 series 3517603
Cogne is known as one of the ice epicenters in Europe. Located near the base of the Gran Paradiso, the only 4,000 meter peak in Italy, the Cogne Valley boasts over 400 ice climbs and many more mixed and dry-tooling lines. Consistency and accessibility are the name of the game: The microclimate and terrain means ice is reliable year-in-year-out and you can often start your approach to climbs right from your front door.
Matthias Scherer is lucky to have called the area home for the past 20 years...
