Matteo Della Bordella is one of the world’s leading modern alpinists, known for pushing the limits of human endurance, strategy, and environmental consciousness in some of the planet’s most remote and challenging mountains. A member and president of the prestigious Ragni di Lecco mountaineering club, he has redefined what it means to climb. He favours minimalist, self-powered expeditions and daring first ascents across Patagonia, Greenland, Pakistan, and the Karakoram.

With an engineering background and a philosophy of “light and fast” climbing, Matteo Della Bordella combines physical grit, innovative thinking, and sustainable adventure in every expedition. His feats include the first ascent of the East Face of Cerro Torre, pioneering new routes on Uli Biaho Tower, and crossing vast glaciers and fjords by kayak to reach unclimbed peaks. His feats prove that resilience, preparation, and vision can overcome the world’s harshest conditions.

Besides his climbing expeditions and myriad talks, Mattea Della Bordello is the bestselling author of ‘The Road Less Travelled: Everything the Mountain Taught Me’. The book describes his existential journey during which he constantly faced his fears and took on new challenges.
