Description

Join me as we climb the via ferrata on Punta Fiames to gain stunning panoramas of Cortina Valley below.

Punta Fiames climbs from the chain of mountains that form the Pomagagnon Group, stretching to 7,347 feet (2,239 meters).

Punta Fiames is a classic via ferrata climbing challenge that clasps the west ridge of the summit.

We will take a 30-minute hike before reaching the via ferrata. Then we will begin our climb of Punta Fiames that soars above the town of Cortina D’Ampezzo.

As we conquer the summit we’ll experience the stunning panoramas of the valley, as well as the standing giants of Antelao and Cristallo, peaks that guard the Dolomites.

The level of difficulty for this 1-day trip is intermediate, as it is a route with some exposed sections.

Reserve your place now to climb the peak of Punta Fiames and experience the fine views of the valley.

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.

We had Robert! He was really enjoyable to be around. If we needed help, he was there to point out good steps as we made the climb. He also gave us some recommendations of things to while we were in the Dolomites!
