Climbing Marmolada in the Dolomites

Climbing Marmolada is an experience you will never forget.  At 3,343 meters, the “Queen of the Dolomites” is the highest summit of the range. On this 1-day adventure, you will have the chance to discover one of its stunning faces.

The main peaks of the massif are Gran Vernel, Piccolo Vernel, Punta Rocca, Punta Penia and Pizzo Serauta.

Its southern side is an impressive cliff wall, a challenge for mountaineers from all over the world, while its western side is a gentle slope forming a basin covered by the largest glacier of the Dolomites. At the foot of Marmolada’s southern side, the beautiful and charming Val Pettorina valley stretches out with the village of Rocca Pietore and its picturesque hamlets at its foot.

Climbing Marmolada is a great way to discover the many faces of this beautiful peak. 

Keep in mind that the ascent is done from Alba (1500m), so there's an elevation gain of 1800 meters to be done in one very long day, starting at 5 AM, so you have to be very fit. Both the ascent and descent are done through the via ferrata.

If you want to enjoy this trip at a less demanding pace, we can also do it in 1 day and a half, sleeping at Contrin refuge, or in 2 days, sleeping in Capanna Punta Penia, right below Marmolada summit!
