Description

The Dolomites, a stunning mountain range in northern Italy, are the place where via ferratas were born. In this 3-day trip, we’ll take some of these protected climbing routes and reach Marmolada, ‘the queen of the Dolomites’.

Rising up to 3343 m, Marmolada is the highest mountain in this range and has several peaks. Besides, it boasts the only glacier in the Dolomites, the Marmolada Glacier.

We’ll take different medium-level via ferrata routes each day. None of them are long, but there’s an option to make the trip easier the third day in case you’re too tired. We’ll also visit Marmolada Glacier.

Besides, we’ll spend the night in beautiful mountain huts (Padon hut and Pian dei Fiacconi hut) with stunning views of the Sella Group and Fedaia Lake.

It. Was. So. Amazing. The trek was everything I hoped it would be and more. Enrico was a super guide - he was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and I could tell he really loves sharing the Dolomites with people. He organized a fantastic trip - the huts we stayed in were amazing and the scenery was unbelievable.
