Mountain Guide

I was born in the plain in 1983, but as often happens to those who were born there, I have always loved the mountains. I was three years old when I wore my first skis, not knowing that this would become my strongest passion ... Skiing, walking, climbing: it is since I was a child that I go to the mountains, first with my parents and my grandfather and then with my friends.

The degree in forestry science was only the logical consequence of this passion, as well as the beautiful summers spent managing the refuge Capanna Punta Penia in Marmolada (the highest refuge in the Dolomites, on top of the highest mountain in the Dolomites!), which I call "the bus without wheels" and all over the Dolomites!
The last step (for now...) was to become a Mountain Guide, to let you experience what the mountain transmits to me!
… and to show you the famous " bus without wheels”

What people are saying about Giovanni

Christina

Giovanni is a fantastic mountain guide. He made my outing on Via Ferrata delle Trincee fun and safe! He knew the route well and balanced letting me “figure it out” and push myself with offering helpful tips especially in the trickier down climbing sections. He took wonderful pictures and videos of me on the ferrata which were so fun to share! He knows all the best spots and angles for good photos and got them to me that night! Being a local he knew a lot about the plants, animals and glacier. He also knew the WWI history pertinent to the ferrata. It made for a very fun and interesting day!
