Description

The Dolomites are probably the most famous mountains of the Italian Alps. This 5-day expedition is your chance to explore this fabulous area on splitboard: join me!

Stretching from the River Adige to the Piave Valley, the Dolomite Mountains are part of the Southern Limestone Alps. These world-famous peaks are located in northeastern Italy, in the provinces of Belluno, South Tyrol and Trentino.

This 5-day splitboarding adventure will take us from the Pala Group (Pale of San Martino) all the way to Lake Braies (also known as Pragser Wildsee and Lake Prags). We will enjoy awesome descents on the Marmolada, the Sella Group, and the Fanes/Sennes Group.

Using the Superski Dolomiti lifts only when we need to, we will climb up to 700 meters per day. Then, after splitboarding all day long on top quality snow, we will stay in charming mountain huts and eat delicious Italian food!

The classic starting point of this expedition is San Martino di Castrozza,  in the most southern part of the Dolomites. However, I am very flexible and we can start from other places too. You can check the complete itinerary below!

Keep in mind that this trip is suitable for at least intermediate splitboarders with some mountaineering experience and a good fitness level. Of course, I will be there along the way to help and guide you!

So, if you are up for this amazing splitboarding experience in the Dolomites, please contact me. I am sure that this 5-day alpine expedition will be unique!

There are no words to express the extraordinary experience I had not only of doing my first via Ferrata but having Enrico as my guide. The coordinating logistics process was outstanding despite changes on my part along the way and the E-S Adventure Guides staff was very prompt in responses and adjustments. They were very knowledgeable of routes and specific questions I had. On thé Via Ferrata itself, the entire time I felt 100% safe with Enrico despite being on a challenging route and weather starting to fade. He is truly the best company for a climb and I’m grateful for his endless positive encouragement. I was lucky to have met such an inspiring human being. I aim to do many more via ferratas now and when location is possible, I’d go only with E-S Adventure Guides (& Enrico!)

Robert was an incredible guide for our via ferrata experience! It was by far, our favorite day on our two week vacation in Italy. Robert is very experienced, and we felt completely safe and comfortable for the whole hike. We also left our hike with some incredible restaurant and hotel recommendations from him! If we make it back to the dolomites one day, we will definitely be booking another trip with Robert!

Very beautiful trip, with several different interesting types of challenges (need for snow shoes, crampons, varying temperatures, etc.) - We did the ascent in May which still means a lot of snow making the trip quite tough (you need to be in decent shape and have a some experience to enjoy the trip).

We had wonderful days and a lot fun. All arrangments were perfect and easy! Our guide Paolo has been not only an excellent mountain and skiing guide but also he is very nice and empatic person who shared his love and knowledge of the Aosta valley! Wonderful days and skitouring, well organised, we will come again!

We did a 1 day Ferrata with Marica. We've both never climbed a Ferrata before but we are both good hikers. We enjoyed our trip very much and you don't need to be a climber. Marica took good care of us and she is very informative with the local geography and history. We felt very safe with her. If you are traveling near the Dolomite and want to try something a bit out of your comfort zone, I highly recommend doing a ferrata especially with Marica. We did both ferrata ra gusela nuvolau and ferrata-averau. It took us about 6 hours.
