Amidst you, only silence, an almost deafening silence. The only voice you'll hear is that of the mountain guide, guiding you during the ascent, providing the right advice to face the ice wall. The only sound, the crunching of ice under your crampons and the accelerating heartbeat – pure adrenaline!
In Val di Sole, there are almost 40 icefalls and we recommend the most adrenaline-pumping ones. Not to be missed is certainly the Cascata Grande in Valpiana, one of the most imposing in Val di Sole, the Cascata Salto dei Cembri in Val di Peio, among the most beautiful with a height of 100 meters, and the Cascata di Valorz in Val di Rabbi, a true paradise for ice climbing.
To tackle icefalls, we recommend always turning to mountain professionals who, in addition to providing advice and potentially renting suitable equipment for the ascent, will also make you feel comfortable and safe facing such imposing elements.
