STEFANO RAGAZZO

Coaching

UIAGM Certified
Alpine Guide

1:1 Sessions in the Mountains

Technique, safety, maneuvers, strategy, mindset

› Coaching with Stefano is not a remote program or a standard course. It’s a real experience in the mountains, directly on the rock face, where every move matters and nothing is simulated. You’ll climb together, tackle technical ascents, bivouac, and sleep in tents. You’ll truly experience the mountains.

› The program is individual and personalized, built around practical outings in an alpine environment. It can be organized as an intensive week or spread out over multiple weeks or months, depending on your goals, the season, and your availability. In any case, the work remains concrete, progressive, and focused on real growth.

What is coaching
with Stefano Ragazzo

› You work side by side on rope maneuvers, safety, progression on technical terrain, belay management, reading the environment, and decision-making in real conditions.

› Along with the technical aspect, the mental and motivational component is also addressed: how to stay clear-headed under pressure, how to react to fatigue, how to overcome personal blocks. And then there’s everything else — the things that aren’t taught in books: small tricks, gear management, expedition organization, attention to detail.

› Led by a professional mountaineer and UIAGM-certified alpine guide, this coaching is designed for those who want to get serious. For those looking for real progress, built with method, vision, and a deep understanding of the craft.

Climbing enthusiasts or athletes looking to make the leap to the next level
People preparing for a major ascent or an expedition
Professionals looking to refine technique, mindset, and strategy

Whether you’re at the beginning of a serious path or ready for a profound change, coaching is for those who choose to work with commitment, concreteness, and vision.

3. What aspects does Stefano's coaching focus on?

The coaching focuses on technical skills, mental awareness, and decision-making ability in the field. You’ll work on rope maneuvers, progression on vertical terrain, safety management, as well as less visible aspects like clarity under pressure, strategy, and motivation. Each outing is built to turn experience into autonomy, and uncertainty into method.

4. How is the coaching structured?

Coaching takes place in the field, in the mountains, through 1:1 practical outings with Stefano. Each session is tailored to your level and goals: no abstract theory, but direct experience, real exercises, and constant feedback. You’ll work side by side with Stefano using the technical and human approach he has built over years of mountaineering and training as a UIAGM guide.

5. What can I expect from a coaching session with Stefano?

Each session is a complete field experience: you’ll work on technique, safety, progression, and mental management, always in relation to real conditions. You can expect full attention, direct feedback, and hands-on work in a context where every detail matters. It’s not a lecture, but a genuine exchange with someone who has built their experience on the rock, meter by meter.

6. Can I access coaching on a flexible schedule?

Yes, coaching is designed to adapt to your schedule, season, and environmental conditions. The outings are planned together, taking your calendar and goals into account. The program remains serious and concrete, but it is built flexibly and realistically, respecting your pace.

7. Is Stefano's coaching suitable for beginners or those with no experience in high-performance environments?

Yes, as long as there is genuine motivation. No sports background is required, just the willingness to challenge yourself seriously. Coaching is personalized: we start from where you are, work on what you truly need, and grow step by step.

8. How long does it take to see results from coaching?

It depends on where you start and how willing you are to work. Some results are visible after the first outings: more confidence, greater awareness, clearer thinking. But true transformation comes with time, consistency, and effort. Coaching doesn’t promise shortcuts, but real transformations built step by step.

9. Can Stefano's coaching help overcome fears or anxieties?

Absolutely. Fear and insecurity are part of the journey, not obstacles but starting points. Stefano works on these aspects as well, helping you recognize them, face them, and transform them into clarity and presence. With his experience in extreme environments, he’ll guide you to manage your mind just as much as your technical movements.

10. How do I get started with coaching?

It begins with a free consultation of about 30 minutes, directly with Stefano. This is a time to get to know each other, understand your goals, and see if this program is really for you. No commitment, just an open and honest conversation to figure out how to start on the right foot.

11. What is the cost of coaching with Stefano Ragazzo?

The cost varies based on the duration, frequency of sessions, and the type of program we build together. After the free consultation, Stefano will propose a tailored plan, clear and with no surprises. The goal is not to offer a standard package, but a real investment in growth, quality, and personal transformation.

12. Does Stefano offer group coaching or workshops?

The main program is individual, 1:1, to ensure total attention and personalization. However, in specific cases, Stefano also organizes intensive workshops or group outings, always with a small number of participants and a very specific technical focus. If you’re looking for a high-quality collective experience, you can request it during the initial consultation.

13. What makes Stefano Ragazzo’s coaching different from other coaching services?

It is not an online course or a theoretical program. It’s a lived experience in the field, where you climb and do mountaineering activities together, on the rock. You work side by side with Stefano on maneuvers, progression, real decisions in a real environment. This coaching is built by a mountaineer and UIAGM guide with experience in expeditions, first ascents, and demanding solo climbs.
