Description

I would like to invite you to discover one of the most beautiful spots in Lake Garda. Join me on this via ferrata and spend 1 day exploring the Sarca Valley.

Situated in northern Italy, Lake Garda is the largest lake in the country and one of the most popular destinations among tourists. We’ll go to Sarca Valley, an enchanted area surrounded by the Garda Mountain limestone peaks. Due to the incredible climate conditions and breathtaking views in this area, it’s the perfect place to enjoy different types of sportive activities.

On this opportunity, I invite you to take part in the via ferrata Sentiero dei Contrabbandieri, on the shore of the lake. The itinerary consists of a horizontal experience with breathtaking views of the lake and some challenging spots, such as ridges.

Please, keep in mind that this program is for participants with previous via ferrata experience. In addition, it’s very important to have a good level of fitness and technical abilities.

Do you think this program would suit you? Then don’t hesitate to send the request and make your reservation. I’ll be happy to guide you across this amazing spot in northern Italy!

We very much appreciated Giorgio’s professionalism and knowledge of the Adamello area. Giorgio was very thorough with his directions and making sure we were all safe. I had a 17 and 23 year old with me and he gave me a lot of confidence with his skills without being patronizing. We all had a great day ski-touring and the descent of Pisgana glacier was really exciting. Happy to recommend him for or offer other intel.

We had an amazing day out in the mountains with Giorgio. He's a great tour guide, happy to answer all the questions you have before or on the day of the hike and very quick to respond your messages. It was a beautiful day for snow shoeing, blue skies and breathtaking views, we can only highly recommend booking a tour with Giorgio, it's well worth it as you will have a super fun day that you will remember for a very long time. Thanks again Giorgio for getting us around the mountains and we hope to see you again some time! Vanessa & Ross

Giorgio was a very experienced guide who made us feel safe throughout the via ferrata. He was also very kind and professional with us. The via ferrata Susatti at Cima Capi was an amazing experience and I am so glad we did it. The climb can be quite challenging but is within everyone's reach. The view over the Garda Lake is magnificent. I really recommend this experience!

Giorgio is an excellent summer hiking and climbing guide who blends his excitement, enjoyment and experience of the Dolomites with a strong eye for the safety and security of his clients. Giorgio led us on an excellent ski tour including interesting summit and descent in changing conditions. After bad weather cancelled our original plans I asked Giorgio to guide me and my 9 year old daughter on her first via ferrata and give her a fun first climbing lesson. I recommend Giorgio as a strong, responsible and flexible guide. I did with him in July 2017 a Summer hike and traverse of Adamello Glacier to Lobbia Alta rifugio. In April 2018 a Winter ski tour from Tonale to Adamello summiting Corno Bianco and skiing Pizgana couloire to Ponte di Legno, and in Aug 2020 a Via Ferratta near Sarca and climbing lessons.

Great route, great guide, a perfect introduction to the Dolomites and to Via Ferrata. Giorgio is super friendly and approachable, nice company for the day, and a well qualified outdoor guide. If you are new to climbing on rocks, or not very experienced with long hikes on tough, exposed terrain, then you will find this a big adventure, but totally doable. If you are experienced and fit on rocks and hikes, then you will still find this a very satisfying & fun day in the mountains. Thanks Giorgio!
