Freeride skiing with a guide in Sella group, Italy
Join Enrico Geremia, an IFMGA certified guide, into this exciting freeride skiing adventure in some of the best spots in the Sella group plateau.
Description
Do you want to improve your skills on the snow and you already have some previous experience? This 1-day freeride skiing tour in Sella group is just for you!
The Sella group is a large massif surrounded by valleys in the Dolomites, a part of the Alps in northeastern Italy. The highest peak in the region is Piz Boé, at 3151 m.
During the winter season, this place becomes a great destination for freeride skiing, offering many trails with different levels of difficulty.
One of the classic skiing tours in this region is Sella Ronda. It is a circuit of ski-lifts that allows visitors to travel around the whole massif and enjoy stunning panoramic views.
Sella group is an ideal place for snow lovers. I recommend it because it has options for beginners and also for those who already have a good skiing level. In all cases, a minimum red pist level is required.
Some of the popular ski trails are Val Lasties, Val di Mezdi, Joel Couloir, Val Delle Fontana and Canale del Ghiaccio.
But this tour isn’t only about freeride skiing. It is also about having a mountaineering experience. Some trails inside the valleys are so large it may take two or three hours to go through them. In some couloirs, we’ll have to use rope harness and rappel down.
In addition to that, you will enjoy a wonderful view of the only glacier in the Dolomite Mountains.
By the way, it is important to mention you will need both mountaineering and skiing equipment to reach this places.
Please contact me if you want to be a part of this full day of freeride skiing. I am a passionate IFMGA mountain guide and will be glad to show you the best spots in Sella group.
More info -Equipment rental: Kit ARTVA (ARTVA + PROBE + Shovel) rent 10 euro; freeride skis rental is possible. -Daily skipass and every kind of lifts or other things have an extra cost. -There's a possibility of catching a bus at an extra price to divide with the all group. |

About the guide
I started my career as an aerospace engineer, my first passion and then became a full-time IFMGA mountain guide, my second passion, since 2013. Working as a mountain guide gratifies me a lot. I enjoy very much transmitting my knowledge about the mountains and its activities to my friends and clients. I’m based in the Dolomites where I have climbed most of the mountain surroundings us here, including “Via attraverso il Pesce” in Marmolada and “Captain sky-hook” in Civetta. I also enjoy a lot guiding in the rest of the Alps, ice climbing, ski touring, freeride skiing, rock climbing and mountaineering. Feel free to contact me if you want to live a great adventure in the Dolomites or anywhere else in the Alps, during the winter or the summer. It will be a great pleasure for me to guide you and allow you to reach your goal.

Enrico was a terrific guide - super friendly, very knowledgable & a fun guy. He\'s also a good photographer to help capture some pics when you\'re up on the via ferrata! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in the area.

As a group of 4 we went on a via ferrata adventure with Enrico and had an amazing time. Communication with Enrico was straightforward and he picked the perfect route: challenging but not too hard and consequently everybody in the group had a great time despite different levels of experience. It\'s very clear that Enrico is extremely competent and has a lot of experience. We always felt completely safe with him and he was very encouraging and fun to talk to. Looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended!

Enrico and the staff at explore share were extremely nice to work with. To our dismay, the weather didn’t cooperate and we were unable to do our hike. They were very quick in processing our refund. Hopefully we can try again in the future and will definitely consider Enrico and explore share again.

The tour was amazing, the place is absolutely beautiful and Enrico was a great guide! The snow conditions were not the best (one cannot control the weather!) but Enrico guided us well through it and gave a lot of important tips on how to skin up on varying conditions, and always alerted of of what to expect ahead. He was very patient with our relatively slow pace and we still managed to do a lot in the day we had! I can definetly recomend this tour for those who are starting in splitboarding/skitouring - the right level of challenge without beeing too hard! And Enrico is a great guide, professional, patient and also a fun person to be around and chat! I hope to make another tour or maybe climb with him on the next time I\'m in the Dolomites!

This tour was unanimously my family\'s favorite part of our trip. The view from the top is the most stunning 360 view I\'ve ever seen. Enrico, our guide, was clear, calm and engaging. We had a person who is terrified of heights, and Enrico did an excellent job of balancing patient encouragement with determined push. For those more fearless who are experienced hikers and climbers, this particular via ferrata may be a bit underwhelming. A few of us wanted more of a challenge. Overall, fantastic.

We had a great experience with Mr.Enrico Geremia for our via ferrata trip up Marmolada. Enrico was a friendly guide and did not compromise with any of the safety equipment. We felt secure all the while with Enrico. We would certainly recommend our friends who have plans to hike the Dolomites in the future to use this platform :)

Enrico guided my family of 4 including 2 boys age 14 and 17 to do the Via Ferrata on Punta Anna. It was a fantastic day. First there was a vigorous walk up from Rifugio Dibona to the start of the Via Ferrata. We are a active family who hikes often but at the higher altitude, we still huffed a bit with the hike. But Enrico was patient and gave us whatever opportunities to take pictures and rest as we needed. During that hike, Enrico conversed with my boys to get a sense of how comfortable they may be with heights and climbing. Once the Via Ferrata started, it was just amazing. Enrico gave us clear instructions about how to do the Ferrata safely and kept an eye on us make sure that we were comfortable and having fun. He took amazing pictures of our family during the climb so that we did not have to fumble with our cameras and risk dropping it. That really allows me to enjoy the moment because it is indescribably beautiful and breathtaking. He then send us the pictures the next day and they were great and better than what I could have done. At the tricky parts of the climb, he offered to pull us up by rope if we were uncomfortable but we were all able to do it on our own. However, for others who may be unsure, it may be helpful to know that he can assist you in this way. Then on the way down, he showed us how to do a gravel run which we have never done and it was enormously fun! We cannot recommend Enrico enough as a guide for Via Ferrata, rock climbing , or skiing tour. He even gave us recommendations for future tours that we hope to do. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Italy.

Had an amazing time with Enrico and Mauro. The views are just incredible and it was great to do something a bit different from just walking/hiking. They provided all the equipment and knew exactly where we were going and even took photos for us along the way which made the whole experience great. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to via ferrata in the Dolomites!

If I could give Enrico more that five stars, I would! He is a great guide and patient teacher. He tailored instruction to my level and the goals that I had for the trip. He gave me specific drills to practice the foot work and ice tool placement that I needed to work on. He was encouraging and pushed me without making me uncomfortable or scared. He is a great climber with a lot of knowledge but he makes it easy to understand. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for the great trip!

He was really really fantastic and our trip was amazing! It was myself, my friend and our two sons and Enrico challenged us all and was really patient and great with our boys. We had 5 days of hiking and via ferrata in an incredibly beautiful uncrowded part of the Dolomites. I felt 100% comfortable with Enrico that he made sure our kids were safe in every situation. We all had an unforgettable experience and want to come back for more :). I keep telling people how great explore share is!

I arranged a last minute Ice climbing adventure through Explore-Share who were very accommodating to my request. My guide was Enrico, a very professional and experienced IFMGA mountain guide. It was an excellent experience to climb in Sottoguda, and I have recommended this to my friends. Enrico personalised the experience to my skill set and fitness levels, ensuring that I felt safe at all times. He clearly explained the techniques and movements required to enjoy the climbing. Can\'t recommend these guys enough! Highlight of my trip to the Dolomites. Matt. Australia
Enrico was extremely knowledgeable of the area and was able to put us in great snow despite the lack of snowfall over the past few weeks. Wonderful day!
