Ice climbing

Winter, along with ice climbing, offers us different activities to enjoy mountain. So, ice climbing opens a world of cold and north-faces that will allow us to enter the mountains in a different way that we do during the rest of the year, mixing even the approximations with skis so we can perform very complete activities.

The moving water we sink during summer will stop because of cold, dying the landscape of blue and white, allowing us to ascend through a volatile way.

We can divide the activity in two different blocks given the rock formations we will move through, making a difference between the pure ice waterfalls and the corridors and northern faces that get covered in snow and ice during winter.

Our activity in this time is centred in the Pyrenees even if, taking advantage of good weather periods, we perform incursions in the Alps searching for other ice-climbing and northern faces.
