Expand your climbing capabilities and strengthen your confidence in the charming town of Arca in the north of Italy. It lies close to the great Lake Garda, the largest in Italy.
The rugged geography around the town makes Arco the perfect base for climbing. The dramatic sheer limestone cliffs guard the town along one side, and offers a variety of quality routes.
We will divide our time between the climbing garden and the cliffs that hangs high above the town. And the routes we’ll climb will be specifically picked depending on your own level of skill and experience.
The course is perfect for those who have already completed a basic course in sport climbing. This 3-day course will cover climbing safety, rappelling, top-rope climbing, dismantling, tactics, as well as receiving personalised feedback.

Meeting point
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 a fantastic three days with our guide, Robert, who took our family of four, with two teenage boys, up Piccolo Cir one day and Sassolungo Furcela the next. The whole experience was excellent, with clear and prompt communication, and the via ferrata choices were perfectly chosen for our experience and ability. Robert was really friendly and helpful throughout and also sorted out a hiccup with our booking, finding us a hut to stay in overnight in a stunning location which added to the adventure. Robert also took our boys multi-pitch climbing on a third day and they came away buzzing. And he took great photos so we could keep our hands firmly on the cables! Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! This was my very first via ferrata, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Fabio Trivieri (@il_trivel). Fabio is an incredibly experienced alpine guide. From the very beginning, he was patient in explaining how to use all the equipment and kept sharing helpful tips throughout the entire route. I was quite nervous at first, but his calm attitude and confidence made me feel completely safe. Before long, I was enjoying every single moment of the climb. Fabio suggested the Tomaselli Via Ferrata on Sass de Stria, and it was the perfect choice. The day included a beautiful approach hike through the mountains, fascinating First World War tunnels, the via ferrata itself, and a final hike to the summit. The scenery was breathtaking, the historical context made the experience even more special, and we were lucky enough to have the mountain almost entirely to ourselves. If you’re looking for a guide who is highly skilled, safety-focused, patient, and genuinely passionate about the mountains, I couldn’t recommend Fabio more highly.

Davide was awesome! We really enjoyed our experience and appreciate his knowledge of the area, recommendation of which via Ferrata to do, patience guiding us through a new adventure as it was our first time, and good humor. I highly recommend! It is well worth it.

We had a fabulous experience. Patrick Carminati was a brilliant guide: patient, calm, funny and gracious. He took us on some great ferratas with fabulous views. He adjusted the route as needed due to the weather too and took really good care of us. 10/10
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
