Gran Paradiso, Italy

About the trip

M2M returns to tackle Italy's highest independent peak.

Set in Italy's stunning Grand Paradiso national park this majestic peak rises above the landscape providing outstanding views across the Alps from its summit. Gran Paradiso offers an exciting introduction to mountaineering but also presents a great challenge in its own right. For many it will be the first chance to ascend on glaciers using ropes, crampons and ice-axes but with no technical mountaineering experience required. If you are fit and enjoy the satisfaction of climbing summits under your own steam, it's perfect.

‘As the first mountaineering peak I ever took on this mountain is very special to me and has become a favourite of ours at M2M, creating countless memories that will never be gotten, I can't wait to go back with a new team.’
Ed Jackson - Co-founder M2M

‘The climb was a real challenge, both physically and mentally, but at every stage we were supported and encouraged by the excellent guides and team mates. The sense of achievement is indescribable. I simply cannot wait to do it all again. Bring on the next mountain.’
Andy Summers - Gran Paradiso 2020
