Marmolada one day via ferrata trip by its west ridge

Marmolada, the Queen of the Dolomites, was one of the first via ferrata sites in this mountain range. I invite you to climb it through its gentle and beautiful west ridge. Although the itinerary does not present any particular technical difficulty, the glacial environment, the high altitude and the length of the climbing route make it a challenging adventure!

Our starting point will be preferably in Val di Fassa so we can meet up there the day before and check the necessary equipment.

I can also suggest some interesting lodging in the area such as the Oswald Hotel. There are many other nearby accommodations in Canazei di Fassa (Cristallo Hotel or the Gran Paradise Hotel). In Campitello di Fassa you can even stay in comfortable apartments.

We will do the whole ascent and descent from Alba to Marmolada summit in 1 day. Keep in mind it's a very long day, with 1800 meters gain, and we will start around 5am, so this option is only suitable if you are very fit.

This one day experience is a really complete program since we won’t only enjoy a via ferrata trip. We’ll start with a walk, going to the via ferrata and finally enjoy the amazing Marmolada summit! What’s more exciting is that you’ll be also teleported back to the First World War since that fighting took place right here.

I am happy to offer this full mountaineering and historical package in Marmolada. It’ll be a big pleasure for me if you join me. Send your request to book the trip!
