Highlights

Climb the via ferrata to the summit of Cima Capi.
Experience lovely views of Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy.
Pass by the sober relics of World War One trenches.

Description

Soaring above the clear tranquil waters of Lake Garda are the sheer walls of Cima Capi. Its 909-meter peak lies on the mountains of Garda in northern Italy.

The peak is accessible by an easy and exciting via ferrata, which is well equipped and was fully renovated in 2009. It leads through tunnels and trenches built during the First World War.

Once we conquer the peak we’ll witness fantastic views of the lake and the surrounding Garda mountains to the east.

The peak is part of the Rocchetta massif, which is north of Valle di Ledro and west of Lake Garda.

Lake Garda, with an area of 143 square miles (370 square kilometers), is the country’s largest lake, and the third-largest in the Alps.

Our day will begin in Biacesa with our ascent taking 6 hours. The exposed path breaks down any potential barriers to the stunning natural beauty of the Sarca Valley.

From the top of Cima Capi, we’ll descend by old walkways and war fortifications, the battle scars that are scratched into the mountainside.

The level of difficulty for this trip requires a very good level of fitness, due to the high vertical walls, and the changing of altitude during the ascent.

Get in touch now to reserve your place on an action-packed via ferrata to the summit of the stunning Cima Capi, overlooking Lake Garda, Italy’s largest.

FAQs

What kind of shoe/boot is recommended for via ferrata?

Hiking or approach shoes or boots with semi-rigid or fairly stiff sole are the ideal footwear for via ferrata, as you have to be comfortable climbing on metal ladder rungs and walking on rocks. Sneakers are not recommended, as they can be quite slippery.

Can I join a group tour to do a via ferrata?

Yes, I offer weekly group departures for the Alpini via ferrata near Cortina. You can check all the information here: https://www.explore-share.com/trip/1-day-via-ferrata-dolomites-cortina/

Mountain Guide

Hi! I'm Renato, IFMGA guide from the Dolomites, and I work together with my colleagues Robert, Patrick & Walter (German speaking), Paolo, Matteo and Davide.

If I'm not available to guide you, one of them will take care of you.

I was born in 1961, I live in Campitello di Fassa, in the Dolomites, together with my family. I have two sons, one is a mountain guide, the other is a ski instructor. I am a certified mountain guide since 1982, an instructor of guides, alpine ski instructor and a Federal coach for ISEF.

Being in the mountains has always been my passion, guiding people, teaching them climbing, mountaineering... during the various seasons of the year. I very much enjoy drawing nice curves in fresh powder snow and discover the charm of the frozen waterfalls.

My curriculum and professional mountaineering is made of many ascents and some openings of routes in the Dolomites and the Alps. I climbed in Yosemite Valley (California), Ben Nevis (Scotland) and Norway, Greece, Spain and Sardinia. I did also several high altitude climbs like Mt Denali (Alaska), Ama Dablam (6828m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Manaslu (8163m), Shivling in India (6545m), Cotopaxi and Chimborazo in Ecuador (5897m and 6310m), Patagonia (Argentina).

Feel free to get in touch with me if you are coming in the Dolomites for skiing (alpine, freeride and ski touring), rock climbing, sport climbing and multi pitch climbing. It will be my pleasure to guide you here and let you discover my secret spots.

Etienne was an awesome guide for our one day trip. Very knowledgable and I would recommend him to anyone!

The trip was superb. We all enjoyed the day a lot. Thank you!

Swift response and accurate information provided in advance of the trip. Fantastic experience with Fabio Trivieri. Fully 5-start service. Thanks

Paolo was a fantastic guide, knowledgable, helpful and patient on a few tricky sections just to build confidence and keep the whole group happy. Also very cool sun glasses. The gear was solid and the route just right for us. Very much recommended.

We were in contact with Renato before we booked the vacation. He was not polite when we asked about the cost and informations about the accomodations of our trip in the mountains. BUT Renato couldn’t be our guide at the and, so we had Bruno as our guide. Bruno was the best guide ever for our vacation! He was very polite, funny and kind. Thanks to him we had an amazing vacation!!
