Paolo Paglino - Alagna Ski & Mountaineering guides

Paolo Paglino, UIAGM mountaineering and ski guide

I was born in Valsesia in 1967. I live in Rassa, a pretty village in the South of The Monte Rosa. I successfully completed a selective UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide Course in Italy, the highest internationally recognized qualification for instruction and guiding in rock and ice climbing, mountaineering, off-piste skiing and ski touring. I have been guiding in the Alps since 1993 and have professionally led treks and climbing expeditions in Nepal, South America and Africa. Since 1997 I also work as an examiner for the UIAGM/IFMGA Italian Mountain Guide School involved in tuition, guide safety, climbing and ski techniques. I speak Italian, English and French. I will help you to improve your knowledge of the mountains. I hope together we will have a great experience. Trips: Himalaya, Patagonia, Perù, Greenland, Africa, Scandinavia, and …. The Alps. I like: All mountain sports, to ski in powder, climbing at the seaside, pasta, pizza, fresh fish, good food and wine…… and gelato! I dislike: Driving the car, fast-food.

Me and my girlfriend were guided by Paolo during a 4-day program in the Monta Rosa. We made our first three 4000m summits! Paolo is a very professional guide who learned us a lot in mountaineering techniques and mountaineering safety. And with that, we made a lot of fun too! Would definitely recommend Alagna Ski Guides. And last tip, their B&B in Rassa is a good place to stay before your trip on the Monta Rosa.

We had a great mountaineering adventure going up to Rifugio Margherita with Alagna Ski Guides! Paolo did a great job organising everything, and we had an excellent guide, Tazio, who he made it all to be a lot of fun while making us feel very safe!

Paolo was the perfect mountain guide. He organized a great trip for me and my friends on the Monta Rosa, with a lot of variation. His B&B in Rassa is a perfect place to relax. Also he tells great stories over a drink in the mountain huts. Definitely recommend!

We went with Paolo on the Monte Rosa Massif and did a 4 day tour in which we summitted three peaks (Zumsteinspitze, Signalkuppe and Pyramid Vincent). Paola was an excellent and friendly guide. He listened to our requests and did routes that we found both challenging as safe. Definitely would recommend Paolo as a guide. He also has a very nice B&B in Rassa called Locanda Margherita B&B and does tours in the entire area (also Mont Blanc).

We had another great week with Paolo this year. Based in Valtournenche we had options for the Cervinia/Zermatt areas as well as the other resorts in the Aosta valley depending on weather and conditions. Paolo used this flexibility to provide some great days including a wonderful day of powder fun in Pila. Highly recommended and will be back for more next year!

If you want mountain expertise, careful planning, attention to detail, safety awareness and a touch of humour, these are the guys to ski with! Another brilliant year. Thank you.

Trotz misslichen Wetter- und Schneebedingungen findet Paolo immer noch eine lohnenswerte Abfahrt, auch wenn sie im Tirol statt im Monterosa liegt! Dazu macht es einfach jede Menge Spass mit ihm unterwegs zu sein. Hoffentlich bald wiedermal mit viel Schnee!
