Partially the trails are crossing glaciers or sometimes "airy" paths which are equipped with iron ropes (via ferrata). The guidance by a mountaineering guide is indispensable, unless you have great high mountaineering experience and complete command of rope maneuvers which are necessary for the crossing of glaciers (for example rescue maneuvers from glacier crevasses, knot system for a rope team) as well as the correct use of the technical equipment on the VIA FERRATA (iron/ladder paths). The security of the participants is top priority for the mountain guide of Alpine School Arco. He will teach the participants alpine techniques and demonstrate how to handle possible perils in the mountains in a proper way.<br> It is possible to change the date of the hiking trekking alpine mountaineering tour, once the minimum number of participants has been reached or once the amount corresponding to the minim. no. of participants has been paid.<br> For our guests who are arriving by plane we are offering a pick-up service from the airport in Italy to Lake Garda. The indicated duration (time) is referring to a slow walking pace and includes some resting time. As each hiking and mountaineering tour offers innumerable variants, it is possible to change the itinerary upon request and according to the capacity of the participants.</font> <p><font face="Arial"><img border="0" src="02_hiking_trekking_dolomites_italy01.jpg" alt= "COPYRIGHT ALPINTREK.COM" width="197" height="197"> <b><font face="Arial" size="1">Hiking and Trekking guided Tours in the Dolomites Alps Italy</font></b></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong><font size="2">PARKS AND NATURE IN THE ALPS OF ITALY</font></strong><font face= "Arial" size="2"><br> PN.1 - <strong>TREKKING in STELVIO National Park (CEVEDALE - easy hiking in the Alps).</strong><br> Ascent of ROSSA PEAK which is one of the most panoramic peaks in the ORTLES and CEVEDALE Mountains. It is possible to practice climbing techniques in safety on the walls which are adjacent to the mountain lodge. A comfortable path will lead us to the STERNAI Lakes and MALEDA Valley. There we can still find eagles, ibex and red deer. The jewel of the STELVIO National Park is SAENT Valley which is famous for its waterfalls as well as Pra' di Saent with its typical alps and numerous marmots - an idyll of untouched flora and fauna.<br> PN.2 - <strong>TREKKING from FUMO Valley to GENOVA Valley (ADAMELLO Mountains - easy mountaineering).</strong><br> Crossing: from FUMO Valley to GENOVA Valley in typical high-alpine environment with view over the enormous glaciers of Care' Alto (3.463 m) surrounded by cascades and untouched flora and fauna.<br> PN.3 - <strong>TREKKING - ALTA VIA on MONTE BALDO (medium muntaineering at Lake Garda).</strong><br> Degree of difficulty and notes: Wonderful hiking tour in the natural park of Monte Baldo on easy hiking path on the mountain crest which divides the Adige Valley from Lake Garda with little elevation difference. We spend one night in a typical mountain lodge. From the naturalistic point of view, this trekking tour is very interesting because it is offering a unique panorama over the entire Lake Garda, the Venetian plains, the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello Glacier.</font></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong><font size="2">TREKKING AND HISTORY in the Dolomites Alps Italy.</font></strong><font face="Arial" size="2"><br> TS.1 - <strong>TREKKING - following the trails of World War I. in the ADAMELLO (hiking and mountaineering on the glacier).</strong><br> The trails which have been constructed by the soldiers during World War I. are leading us to the fomer battlefields where Austrian and Italians had combatted against each other during the cruel "White War".

Responsible for this success are the facts that the area is offering walls of up to 1.200 m altitude as well as rocks and boulders suitable for rock climbing. The limestone' s structures allow to perform safely and elegantly all kinds of climbing techniques. The mediterranean climate, mild in winter and refreshing in summer, permits each kind of climbing almost throughout the whole year.<br> The participation in a climbing course is independent of age and does not require special physical conditions. If you love outdoor activities and, if you are anxious to discover something 'new', this is the right course for you. Climbing may be considered as one of the most comprehensive types of sport as you do not only need almost all of your body fibers but also your brain.<br> <strong>ROCK CLIMBING COURSE FOR BEGINNERS<br></strong>A short explanation:<br> The climbing courses will take place in one of the many climbing areas around Arco. On natural vertical rock walls (equipped with SPIT) the participants are learning to climb by using the 'top-rope' system on single pitch routes. It permits the climber to 'fall' in any moment and all that can happen is, that the climber remains 'hanging' on the rope - a rope which has a capacity of up to 2.000 kg - this is a maximum of security. One day of climbing has a duration of approx. 4 to 5 hours. A licensed Mountain Guide will teach knot- , belaying- and climbing techniques which are the base of every type of mountain activity such as 'Vie ferrate' (iron/ladder paths or even ice climbing). We prefer to perform our courses with a small number of participants in order to provide a maximum of service and success for each beginning climber. Thus the Mountain Guide can concentrate on each participant individually, he can evaluate and correct possible mistakes and contribute to make a large progress in climbing. You may ask our Guide for advice regarding any type of hiking climbing and mountaineering activity.<br> <strong>ADVANCED CLIMBER'S COURSE:<br></strong>The goal of most participants in 'advanced courses' is to go climbing independently and to 'lead' In the beginning of the course we still climb top-rope on difficult routes trying to reach the limit our your climbing capacity with the objective to attain a higher climbing degree, to correct possible mistakes and to refine your climbing technique. Next step in the course is advanced rope and climbing techniques for climbers who are 'leading'. The success of the course depends of course on the participants' prior experience and a small number of participants (two or max . three persons); upon request it is also possible to do multi-pitch routes.<br> <strong>PERSONAL INTENSIVE ROCK CLIMBING COURSE</strong><br> With max. 2 participants you can benefit from the didactic capacity of our mountain guide who can look back upon 20 years of teaching climbing in our Alpine School of Arco. It is possible to choose the dates, the number of climbing days as well as the venues, difficulty degrees and didactical preferences. One mountain guide with two guests is an ideal group for a multi-pitch route up to 400 m with ca. 12 pitches.<br> <strong>Information and reservation<br></strong>Any type of requests as well as reservations should be made at least 20 days by e-mal (<a href="mailto:guide@alpinguide.com">guide@alpinguide.com</a>) prior to the start of the course with our Alpine School of Arco. You should indicate the number of participants, possible prior mountaineering experience as well as any information necessary to guarantee a successful and efficient course.<br> <strong>EQUIPMENT FOR ROCK CLIMBING AND MOUNTAINEERING COURSE<br></strong>All the material which is necessary for climbing will be made available free of charge by our Mountain Guides (this includes as well climbing shoes, harness, helmet). This service is included in our prices. If you need help choosing the suitable equipment, the Guides may give you some good piece of advice.<br> <strong>WHAT HAPPENS, IF IT RAINS ...???<br></strong>Sometimes it even rains in Italy ...! It goes without saying that the 'lost' climbing days due to rain, will either be made up for or will be partly deducted from the total price.<br> <strong>INSURANCE<br></strong>All of our collaborators of Alpine Climbing School Arco are government licensed Mountain Guides with an international diploma and are officially registered with the regional and international Mountain Guide's Association.

This membership, shared at present with guides from sixteen other countries, gives our Mountain Guides absolute equivalence with Guides in Alpine countries and throughout the world. The award of the International Guides Carnet demands the highest standards of skill and professionalism in all aspects of mountaineering.<br> <strong>The Scope of Guiding</strong> <br> In any year the range of mountain activities offered by Guides is staggering. Mountain Guides safely and successfully lead groups to the highest and most remote mountains on earth. Some Guides specialise in Alpine mountaineering whilst others work mainly with young people, senior climbers or women. Guides are able to provide group instruction and personal guiding at every level from easy climbs, walks and scrambles to the most demanding ascents at home and abroad all year round. Guides also offer instruction and guiding in snow and ice climbing as well as ski mountaineering and off-piste skiing. Many Guides offer Sport Climbing throughout Europe whilst on Alps rock and indoor walls instruction and guiding is always available. Guides are able to work at all levels making sure that the walking party will receive the same care and exclusive attention as someone who wants to find their limits on rock, ice or at altitude.<br> <strong>Beyond Guiding</strong><br> Guides are increasingly involved in equipment design, development and testing, others act as consultants or assist in filming. Many offer lectures, write on mountain related matters and give technical advice. Mountain Guiding is not only a profession but is also a vocation.

Its protagonists are explorers from England, Germany, Austria and local mountain guides. The mountain guide' s profession has been subject to changes and development. Until the end of the 18<sup>th</sup> century they were the guides of rich aristocrats keen on granting their name to a famous peak or wall. The modern alpine guide however, is a professional with not only a profound knowledge of the manifold traditional and modern alpine techniques but is also an expert in nature, culture and history. In those days and at present, the mountain guides are the authors of national and international alpine history.<br> The Trentino Mountain Guide Association is preparing the guides for their professional life. In Trentino 200 alpine guides are registered; they are being distributed among 12 alpine schools and/or other types of guides' associations. Practically in each valley of Trentino you can find an association of mountain guides which can provide information and advice. The alpine schools or guides' associations are offering a vast range of activities and courses which can be booked directly. With a mountain guide on your side, a day in the mountains, a simple excursion through the forests of our National Parks or a climbing tour in the Dolomites, will become an unforgettable experience.<br> The Mountain guides of Trentino are publishing an annual program offering daily or weekly excursions/events which are suitable for everyone who has already been in the mountains but is mainly addressing those who want to make first contact with them. The program includes excursions, trekking tours, climbing tours, high alpine treks, rock climbing or excursions in the National Parks with special park guides.</font></font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial"><img border="0" src="02_hiking_trekking_dolomites_italy03.jpg" alt= "COPYRIGHT ALPINTREK.COM" width="197" height="197"> <b><font face="Arial" size="1">Guided trek on Lake Garda Dolomites Alps Italy</font></b></font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial"><strong><font size="2">Our Mountain Guides of Alpine School Arco Lake Garda Dolomites Italy</font></strong><span><font face="Verdana" size="2"><br> Our Mountain Guides offer the ultimate rock climbing experiences for groups and individuals alike.
