Description

Pinnacles, towers, spires, and a great variety of colors and snow make the Dolomites a stellar part of this breathtaking landscape. Located in Northern Italy, these mountains seem to belong to a fantasy book. And you can be a part of it!

Can you imagine a better place for your splitboarding experience?

We will meet in Cortina d’Ampezzo. From there, we’ll climb to Rolle Pass, in the Italian region of Trentino, from where our 6-day splitboarding tour begins. Over the next 6 days, our traverse will take us across some of the most famous mountains in the Dolomites, including Marmolada (3343m), the highest peak in this mountain range, and some of the peaks in the Cortina Valley. Our tour will end in Sesto, a winter resort town located in the Italian region of South Tyrol.

After almost a week of snow, wonderful views, splitboarding and comfy nights at scenic huts (including one located in the middle of the Marmolada glacier), you will be asking for more days off work!

Please notice that this activity requires previous experience in splitboarding and a good fitness level.

If you meet these requirements and are ready for a fun week, book this trip now. You will never forget the beauty of the Dolomites! The tours start every Saturday between February and March.

About the guide

Paolo

Mountain Guide

I was born in Bologna and I live now in Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the Dolomites.
I am passionate about the mountains and travelling. These took me to ski and climb in the 5 continents.
In particular, skiing allowed me to discover wonderful places as well as people. My favourite style of travelling is when I get to do it with skis on my feet.
In 1997 I started organizing ski touring cruises in the Lyngen Alps, which I have done 20 times since then.
My other passion is telemark. In fact I am an Alpine Telemarker Guide, and I like to go to the most remote corners of the world.
During the summer, I love rock climbing in the Dolomites and practicing mountain bike.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
