Description
Climb the via ferrata of Delle Trincee to access the stunning Dolomite scenery as we face the front of the giant Marmolada (3,343 meters), the highest mountain in the Dolomites.
Known as the Queen of the Dolomites, Marmolada is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The via ferrata lies on the Padon crest, whose dark colour comes from its volcanic origins.
The recently-built via ferrata also gives stunning views of surrounding mountains.
Along the route of Delle Trincee (Italian for Way of the Trenches) we will discover several centuries-old Austrian outposts, relics from World War One.
We begin in the sleepy village of Arabba, catching a lift to Porta Vescovo. After an easy and fast approach, we start to ascend.
Once we are on the via ferrata of Delle Trincee we’ll begin to see the incredible views of Marmolada on one side and Piz Boe on the other.
Reserve your place among the majestic Dolomite mountains for a full-day via ferrata experience.

FAQs
What kind of shoe/boot is recommended for via ferrata?
Hiking or approach shoes or boots with semi-rigid or fairly stiff sole are the ideal footwear for via ferrata, as you have to be comfortable climbing on metal ladder rungs and walking on rocks. Sneakers are not recommended, as they can be quite slippery.
Can I join a group tour to do a via ferrata?
Yes, I offer weekly group departures for the Alpini via ferrata near Cortina. You can check all the information here: https://www.explore-share.com/trip/1-day-via-ferrata-dolomites-cortina/

Mountain Guide
Hi! I'm Renato, IFMGA guide from the Dolomites, and I work together with my colleagues Robert, Patrick & Walter (German speaking), Paolo, Matteo, Davide, Giorgia and Luca.
If I'm not available to guide you, one of them will take care of you.
I was born in 1961, I live in Campitello di Fassa, in the Dolomites, together with my family. I have two sons, one is a mountain guide, the other is a ski instructor. I am a certified mountain guide since 1982, an instructor of guides, alpine ski instructor and a Federal coach for ISEF.
Being in the mountains has always been my passion, guiding people, teaching them climbing, mountaineering... during the various seasons of the year. I very much enjoy drawing nice curves in fresh powder snow and discover the charm of the frozen waterfalls.
My curriculum and professional mountaineering is made of many ascents and some openings of routes in the Dolomites and the Alps. I climbed in Yosemite Valley (California), Ben Nevis (Scotland) and Norway, Greece, Spain and Sardinia. I did also several high altitude climbs like Mt Denali (Alaska), Ama Dablam (6828m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Manaslu (8163m), Shivling in India (6545m), Cotopaxi and Chimborazo in Ecuador (5897m and 6310m), Patagonia (Argentina).
Feel free to get in touch with me if you are coming in the Dolomites for skiing (alpine, freeride and ski touring), rock climbing, sport climbing and multi pitch climbing. It will be my pleasure to guide you here and let you discover my secret spots.

What people are saying about Renato & Guides' team

We were very lucky to get Patrick Carminati to be our guide as we were very happy with his services. He was very kind and patient to explain the steps and prepared us very well for the ice climbing course. We felt very safe throughout the journey and very well taken care of. He was also very knowledgeable and experienced as he taught us the skills for ice climbing. We also appreciate the transparency from his side with the sub-optimal conditions with the thick snow covering the waterfalls and are grateful that he proceeded with the course anyway. It was an overall very good experience and I’d highly recommend to anyone out there.
