Description

Situated on a high mountain pass in northern Italy, heading to the goulotte of Mafia Bianca makes for the perfect day of climbing!

The steep rocky chute in enclosed within a gully high above the Passo del Tonale. In spite of its proximity to the popular ski resort, climbing the Mafia Bianca feels like a proper mountaineering experience.

This is both because the climbing itself presents an intermediate-level challenge that can be done in all weather conditions and the ski resort remains out of sight throughout the climb.

The approach to the beginning of the steep chute is short and comfortable. The climb itself is characterized by scaling a vertical dihedral then crossing over at a split, all of which is sheltered.

This is followed by climbing up to a shoulder and then onto another dihedral, which in turn, leads to another canal. This is then followed by two steep jumps up to the summit ridge.

The views from the top are incredible! You'll be able to see out over other peaks in the Rhaetian Alps and into the verdant valley below.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, exciting and scenic 1-day climbing experience up Mafia Bianca!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you may also enjoy my 1-day mountaineering expedition up Innerkofler via Goulotte Mistica!

About the guide

Mountain Guide

Hi, I've got a great passion for the mountains; I've been doing mountaineering for many years and now it's my job. I live in Trentino, in Tione di Trento, a small town next to the Brenta Dolomites. I carry out my activity mainly in the Dolomites and in Arco di Trento. My favourite activities are ice climbing in the winter and rock climbing in the other seasons!

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!

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.
