Marco Confortola, Europe’s youngest mountain guide between 1993 and 1997<\/strong>, class 1971<\/strong>, was born and raised in Valfurva<\/strong> where he still cherishes his unconditional love of the mountains. A passion of his, that for the mountains<\/a>, cultivated from an early age thanks to his father Alfonso. Starting in the mountains at home, in the Italian mountains, he began some quite remarkable exploits that led him to raise his ambitions ever higher, culminating in the decision to climb and complete the crown of 14 eight-thousanders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marco’s first Hilmalayan expedition : Everest 8848m<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

His first expedition to the roofs of the world began in 2004 with the ascent of the world’s highest mountain, Everest 8848m<\/strong>. This was the starting point of his quest<\/strong> to achieve this formidable goal. To date, Marco is at 12 eight-thousanders, only two more to go to complete the crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it is also after having climbed Everest that Marco makes another important decision, to climb all these peaks without the support of oxygen<\/strong>, which entails different and very specific training and not a few difficulties. In addition to careful physical preparation, careful mental preparation is necessary, learning the ability to listen to one’s body and to know how to give up at the right moment in order to continue safely<\/strong>. Just as happened during the last expedition targeting Nanga Parbat, when he arrived a short distance from the summit, he decided to descend and return to base camp because the weather conditions changed very quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n
