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/
What is the best way to reach the meeting point and move around in the Dolomites?
We strongly recommend renting a car to explore the Dolomites. Public transport is not as frequent as in a city. Being independent is key because meeting points are often early in the morning and can be hard to reach.

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
Vivek
Amazing guide, he showed a real patience with me considering my ankle injury few months ago because of it, i was very slow and careful around glacier crossing. Davide was very patient enough.
Joan
Davide was great! Very competent and have the perfect amount of instruction, not too much and not too little, which I loved. I like some degree of independence and Davide sensed that quickly and was able to provide instructions at the right places and gave me enough space to make my own while 100% ensuring my safety. He was super patient, allowing me tome to retrieve my phone from Rifugio Auronzo when I discovered it was missing, when we were nearly approaching Rif Locatelli. This tool an additional 1.5 to 2 hours of his time. I am very grateful for his patience and very grateful that my phone was handed in, at Rif Auronzo. Davide was super competent, gave the perfect amount of instructions and supervision to ensure I completed the via ferrata safely, as it was my first via ferrata. Yet, he gave me enough space to figure out my own steps in the steep sections going up and down, and I really appreciated that.
Shelia
My friend and I are pretty new to outdoor climbing, and Robert made it a seamless and fun adventure! He gave us a few route options to pick from and did not disappoint on the day! He was professional, knowledgeable and whether he knows it or not saved my butt a couple of times on the tower! I highly recommend this trip if you're doing any climbing in the Dolomites. He's been climbing there his whole life and is an absolute expert.
Michael
Marcello was spectacular. First time seriously rock climbing and we did a 600 foot face. He was patient, clear, and very helpful in the experience. I will be back.
Rodrigo
Davide was really great.
