Day 4 - Ice Falls in Prapic
Prapic 1513m is a beautiful little alpine village at the end of the valley. It is still inhabited all year round by four families and has preserved it's authentic alpine charm and architecture.
It is also home to some fantastic ice climbing such as the 300m Pisse Bernard.
You will now be in pairs with one guide per pair and should be ready to go for a longer and more technical climb.
Your guide will help you decide which route to do but the Pisse Bernard is a fantastic challenge at grade 4 with 7 pitches. Have a look at this great
photo of ice climber Khrisna Nacua climbing some of the ice moguls on the fall! otherwise there are several choices of grade 3 routes equally majestic!
You will be out for the full day so will need to take picnic, snacks and a hot flask!
There is a very good chance you will have the ice falls at Prapic to yourselves for the day and can really experience the tranquility and beauty of ice climbing in the Southern Alps! Look out for chamois and golden eagles.
