Reach the summit and be rewarded with the unobstructed views of the panoramic spectacle of the surrounding Alps. The Catinaccio peak, the Vajolet Towers, Sasso Lungo, the Sella group, and Marmolada are all visible, with Antelao and Civetta in the background. The stunning turquoise-blue view of Lake Antermoia is an absolute highlight not to be missed.

FAQs

Do I need to have experience in rock climbing?

No! There are via Ferratas for total beginners (such as the Roda di Vael or Santner via Ferrata).

Then there are some others for intermediates (the via ferrata Antermoia and Masarè), and some for the most experienced and trained climbers!

What is the height, distance and duration of this trip?

The trip usually takes around 6 hours. The starting and ending time of the activity will depend on where you are staying. As regards the route we decide to take, it depends on your experience, skill level, and weather conditions. But don't worry, we will be able to accommodate the schedule to whatever works best for you.

What is included and not included in the price?

The guiding fee and the gear that you need for the via Ferrata are included in the price! The cablecar, chair lift, lunch, and hut accommodation (if needed) are not included. We will try to meet you in case you need a car ride.

Who will be our guide?

My name is Filippo and I'll be your guide for the day! Just in case I'm not available, you will be notified that the day will be conducted by another certified guide.

Can we also do two days of via ferrata?

Certainly! I will offer you two days of via Ferrata climbing in the Catinaccio group with an overnight stay in a typical Dolomite hut, so you can enjoy an even more complete experience!

Do you also offer other activities in the Dolomites?

My group of guides and I also offer hiking days, trekking days, introductory climbing days, and multi-pitch climbing days! Whatever you want to do in the Dolomites, we will guide you!

How many people can go on a via ferrata with one guide?

It depends on the difficulty level of the via Ferrata we will do. On the easy ones, one guide can take up to 5 people, on mid-level via Ferratas up to 3/4, and on very difficult via Ferratas one guide can take only 1 or 2 people.

Is this program suitable for beginners, children or older people?

Yes, there are great Via Ferratas suitable for children, families, beginners or older people.

Just comfortable clothes for the hike and via Ferrata, and trekking shoes with a fairly stiff sole to be comfortable climbing on a metal ladder and walking on rocks.
