Point Zero is a mountain travel agency from the Aosta Valley, offering authentic alpine adventures that combine experience, personal growth, and conscious exploration.

At Point Zero, born and raised in the Alps, we know that the true journey is not just about reaching the summit but about discovering your strength, resilience, and passion along the way.
Our Alpine Guides are not just mountain experts—they are mentors. They live the Alps every day and walk beside you, sharing their experience to help you embrace adventure with confidence, awareness, and emotion.
An Experience Designed Around You.
Every journey with Point Zero is crafted for you. It’s not just about climbing; it’s about creating moments that leave a lasting impact, where the journey matters as much as the destination.
[ About ]Adventure
Lyngen Alps & Tromsø Norway / Eight days
Difficulty: Advance
Hidden Line In Norway
Far above the Arctic Circle, where the mountains rise straight out of the fjords, there are lines that never make it to the guidebooks. Hidden Lines in Norway is an 8-day ski touring journey through the wild peaks around Tromsø and the Lyngen region, led by certified Mountain Guides.
We don't publish our objectives. Each morning the route is chosen based on snow stability, weather and the group's energy, so no two weeks are the same.
Designed for confident skiers. This is not a course: it's for people who already ski well off-piste and enjoy long days in the mountains.
Valle D'aosta / Two Days
Difficulty: Easy
Ski Alp Course
Through direct experience during excursions, participants will have the opportunity to practice essential ascent techniques in different environmental conditions. Refuge facilities will offer spaces for theoretical lessons, where topics such as planning high-mountain outings, selecting necessary equipment, basic snow science (nivology), and avalanche self-rescue techniques will be explained.
The primary aim of the course is to instill the practice of ski mountaineering (utilizing skis or a splitboard), enabling participants to organize trips with more seasoned companions or venture on independent excursions. The instruction will cover various ascent techniques, focusing on mastering turns and traversing progression for a secure and informed ascent.
Valle D'aosta - Mont Blanc / three days
Difficulty: Moderate
Yoga & Mountain
Three days of yoga at the foot of Mont Blanc, in Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy. Between morning practice, quiet forest walks and the towering rock walls of Val Ferret, you slow down and remember how it feels to breathe deeply. Certified Alpine Guides lead you through the woods, while yoga teacher Cristina Inserra, trained in Hatha and Vinyasa, shapes unhurried classes for every level. Evenings bring local food and the spa of Auberge de La Maison, where mountain and stillness meet. Accommodation, full board and insurance are included. No experience needed, only the wish to arrive.
Most people think of mountains as something to overcome. A summit to reach, a difficulty to defeat, a box to tick. We think differently.
For us, the mountain is not an opponent — it is an invitation.
Point Zero was born from a simple conviction: that the most powerful thing you can do in the mountains is slow down. To notice the grain of the snow, the shift in the wind, the moment your body finds its rhythm against the terrain. Not to prove anything. Just to be fully present in one of the last truly wild places on earth.

Alpine Guides UIAGM/IFMGA
Point Zero is a team of UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guides and experienced mountain professionals from the Aosta Valley, in the heart of the Alps. Our guides are internationally certified and trained to lead groups on glaciers, ski routes and ice, with the same standards of safety, preparation and respect for the mountain. Alongside them work instructors and specialists who bring years of experience, local knowledge and a genuine passion for what they do.
It is the guide who slows down when you need a breath, who shows you the first light on the Mont Blanc massif, who reads snow, wind and weather so that you can simply enjoy the day. They know every valley, hut and ridge because they live here, and they walk beside you, never ahead of you.
With us you are never just a client following a route. You are part of a group, welcomed with care, guided with confidence and brought home with stories that belong to you. This is what guiding means to us: sharing the mountains, step by step.

[ FAQ ]Common Questions
-
Each tour page lists exactly what is included. In general, the price covers the guidance of a certified Alpine Guide (UIAGM/IFMGA), the accommodation and meals described in the program, and the common safety equipment provided by the Guide. Personal equipment, travel to the meeting point, personal expenses and travel insurance are usually not included. Check the "Rates Include / Do Not Include" section of your tour for the details.
-
Every tour has a difficulty level shown on its page (from Moderate to Challenging), so you can choose the one that fits you best. Groups are kept small, and the Guide adapts the pace and route to the group's experience, fitness and the conditions of the day. If you're not sure about your level, contact us and we'll help you choose the right experience, or build a tailor-made one.
-
Click "Book Now" on the tour page where booking is available, or use "Contact Us" to check availability and request a place. Not all tours can be booked online right away: for some departures we first confirm availability and the details of the trip with you, then guide you through the booking.
-
Yes. We can advise you on how to reach the meeting point, on flights and on accommodation before or after the tour, and on request help you organise them. Tell us where you're travelling from and we'll suggest the best option.
-
Each tour page has a specific equipment and clothing list, and after booking we'll send you more detailed advice. You only need to bring your personal clothing: layered technical clothing, waterproof outerwear, suitable footwear for the activity, sun protection and a water bottle. All the technical equipment needed for the tour, such as an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe, helmet, harness, crampons and ice axe depending on the activity, can be provided for rent.
-
It depends on the tour. In general, good aerobic fitness helps: hiking, running, cycling or cross-country skiing are all useful, and the harder the tour, the more you should train. For higher-altitude and more challenging itineraries, we suggest preparing for several weeks and spending some time at altitude if you can. We'll give you specific suggestions for your tour after booking.
-
It depends on the tour. The meeting point and any included transfers are indicated in each program and confirmed after booking. If a transfer is not included, we'll help you reach the starting point.
-
Yes. If you'd like a private departure or a custom version of one of our tours for your friends, family or group, visit our Tailor Made page or contact us and we'll design an itinerary for you.
-
Transfers needed for the activities, for example to reach the starting point of a route, are organised by the Guide and included in the program where indicated. We don't offer a public shuttle service.
-
Safety always comes first. If conditions aren't safe, the Guide adapts the itinerary or chooses an alternative route, and in some cases may postpone or cancel the activity.
-
Yes. We can provide all the equipment you need for your tour, so you only have to bring your own clothing. That said, if you already own your gear, we recommend using it: you'll be more comfortable and familiar with it, which makes a real difference in the mountains. Let us know your sizes when you book and we'll have everything ready for you
