Description

While it is considered the same activity, via ferrata is always different as it is completely dependent on its location. And on this day trip, you will be experiencing the Mesules via ferrata.

The Mesules via ferrata in the Sella Group massif is the oldest via ferrata in the entire Dolomties mountain range. First created in 1912, this via ferrata has thrilled visitors for over a century. And after just a few moments it is easy to see why. The views are absolutely breathtaking.

Experiencing the Mesules via ferrata is more than a trip, it is a journey. It is an exploration of Italy’s finest collection of peaks. Exposed for quite a bit of the day, this via ferrata is both harrowing and demanding. However, it is precisely because of the challenge it presents that the rewards are so rich.

We will begin at the Sella Pass (2,244m). Afterwards, we will make our way to the base of the tower. From there we will take the via ferrata and scale over 250 meters of the Piz Ciavazes’ exposed wall. The next section of the journey will take you to right to the summit of Piz Selva (2,941m). From this vantage point, you will get to see a huge portion of not only the Sella Group, but also the Dolomites.

Are you looking for adventure? Are you looking for a thrilling experience in the peaks of Italy? Then the Mesules via ferrata is for you. Just send me a request, and let the fun begin.

I also lead an another exciting Dolomite excursion on the Roda di Vael via ferrata as well.

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 and Davide.

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.

Raquel

My husband and I climbed with our guide Patrick. Prior to our climb he communicated answering any of my questions. He was knowledgeable, safe, listened to our needs and ensured we had a great day! Thank you, Patrick!

Thomas

Roberto took myself and my wife on the Sass de Stria route after assessing and deciding that the weather was too bad to do our chosen route. Roberto was a great guide would highly recommend

Tania

Benny was friendly, made us all feel comfortable, and took plenty of photos for us. We all had a great time, and if we come back to the Dolomites we would definitely book again.

Alex

Despite a booking conflict, Robert and the company were very accommodating and helpful in making sure that we were still able to have our guided trip in the Dolomites, which ended up being the perfect mixture of ease and challenge, and oh my! the sites were something to behold... we haven't stopped thinking or talking about it since (and it's been a week)! We would absolutely come back again, and if we manage to, will certainly get in the touch with Robert and the company!

Amber

Its always been my dream to be able to complete a Via Ferrata! Thanks to my wonderful guide Robert, he helped me complete this dream. He was optimistic, fun, and very thorough when it came to the hike, teaching me basic moves, and on the actual climb! Thank you again so much!
