Ice Climbing is an activity of climbing through ice structures or formations. These ice formations may be in the form of frozen waterfalls or ice falls. Each winter, the Valery Aurina is covered by a layer of snow and frost at the mercy of weather conditions. Here, ice climbing on the glaciers has existed for more than a century, and the smell of adventure is as authentic as the skiing outside the ski slopes. What makes Ice Climbing appealing is the interaction with the ice which means routes constantly change due to the characteristics of the natural element. These features make it a unique adrenaline driven action sport.
