**Towering between the borders of Veneto and Trentino, Marmolada is the highest mountain in the Dolomites. Take part in this trip and discover one of the most popular via ferratas in Val di Fassa!**

This classic via ferrata is very exciting and challenging. It will take us to **Punta Penia** (3,343 m), the highest summit in this peak. where you'll enjoy stunning views!

The starting point of this via ferrata adventure will be **Alba,** very close to Canazei, at 1500mt.

Since the closure of some lifts, and the avalanche that happened in 2022, the ascent and descent must be done through the northwest ridge via ferrata. We have 3 options for this trip:

Option 1: We 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.

Option 2: We do the trip in 1 day and a half. On day we will start from Alba (1500m) in the afternoon and go up to Rifugio Contrin (2000m), where we will spend the night. On Day 2 we will go to Marmolada summit and down to Alba.

Option 3: We can do the trip in 2 full days. On Day 1 we will go from Alba to Marmolada summit and sleep in Capanna Punta Penia, right below the summit. On Day 2 we will go down from there to Alba. This option is the more relaxed, and gives us the opportunity to enjoy both the sunset and the sunrise from Marmolada summit!

At the beginning of the season, I can take up to 4 participants. While in the end it is better to go only with 2.
