The format of the iceclimbing trips has a number of distinct features, among which - as a rule, it is a friendly international team, harsh, but at the same time, not devoid of comfort and coziness, training and accommodation conditions, the opportunity to combine iceclimbing with other exciting forms of winter active recreation - mountain and cross-country skiing, ski touring etc.

Iceclimbing trips give us a huge amount of positive emotions and the most indescribable, vivid impressions. A positive and healthy atmosphere accompanies each of our iceclimbing programs, regardless of the location - be it my native Caucasus, or Norway, which has become my second home, or the ice verticals of the frozen waterfalls of the Aosta Valley in Italy.

Or even something as exotic as iceclimbing at the foot of the active volcanoes in Kamchatka.

Regardless of the location of the iceclimbing program, each trip gives us a huge number of useful skills that are indispensable for confident and safe climbing of the mountain peaks.

In addition, every iceclimbing trip that is an opportunity to touch and learn something new about the history and culture of the places where we conduct iceclimbing courses. This possibility cannot be excluded from the format of any travel, and in particular iceclimbing trip.
