Alessandra PratoBorn in Milan, where the Dolomite peaks and the pillars of Patagonia are just postcard images. Her passion for climbing came thanks to a small gym in Sesto San Giovanni, followed by courses with the Italian Alpine Club (CAI): Mountaineering, Ice Climbing, Ski Mountaineering, and Waterfalls. Passionate about cinema and art, butgraduated in astrophysics, a full-time job but a tight training schedule that includes:climbing, running, skiing, drytooling and any activity that can be practiced in the mountainsAll this without leaving Milan (for now): why exclude anything from the infinite possibilities of experiences we can have?!
Mountaineering for Alessandra,MoonFor friends, it is above all freedom, the ability to choose goals and projects, the need to set challenges and achieve objectives.
"Mountaineering plays a central role for me, and more or less the entire organization of my life revolves around the time I decide to dedicate to it.I continue to grow based on the choices and sacrifices I make to go to the mountains."
After placing her hands on the rock, Alessandra immediately understood that it wouldn't be a simple passion: climbing became her priority. Since 2023, together with only 14 other young climbers, she has been part of the "CAI Eagle Team" together withCamillaAndMarco, they tooAKU ambassadorThe CAI project aims to train a group of strong mountaineers to be part of theinternational shipping to Patagoniaof 2025 together with Matteo della Bordella.
