He took part in several mountain tours, many of them outside of the Aosta Valley, worthy of mention his winter ascents on the Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, further expeditions in Turkey, Greece and in the Himalayas. In May 1982, he climbed to an altitude up to 8,598 meters without supplemental oxygen, to the summit of the Kangchenjunga.[2]
