Ollomont and its icefalls are a real paradise, immersed in absolute peace and tranquility beneath Mont Vela and Grand Combin, far removed from the better known areas in the Aosta region. Sodoma is a beautiful icefall with a truly exciting second 25m pitch: a good bolt belay at the base of the drip renders the climb all much safer...
Getting there
From Aosta: take the highway SS 26 and then turn off right for the Gran San Bernardo valley (SS 27). At Signayes turn off right for Valpelline. Reach this village and after 300m turn off left for Ollomont. Continue up to reach the small hamlet Glassier. The icefalls can be seen high on the right. Access
Park the car at Glassier, cross the river and continue on foot through the forest to reach the base of the route. Descent
Tree abseil Gear
Normal ice climbing gear.
