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.

Renato is a fantastic guide who is clearly an expert everything related to climbing and even trains other mountain guides. He selected a fantastic tour, made me feel safe and at ease, was patient with my speed, and helped me master difficult moves on my first multi-pitch tour. I could not recommend him more and hope to return soon with improved skills and continue to my climbing journey. Thank you!

We loved both our climbing days. With Renato, we went up the Sella Towers. We were originally going to do Kasnapoff but Renato modified based on weather and skill and we ended up doing a really fun combined route of towers 1 and 2. We really appreciated Renato’s willingness to figure out the best route for us! The whole climb also felt safe and fun. So beautiful. And with Matteo, we had a blast hanging out and doing a bunch of climbs at Cinque Torri. We started with an easy multipitch and then switched to sport and top rope. Matteo went out of his way to find and then lead some really nice routes so we could top rope something at our skill limit and preferred route style. Plus he was just friendly and easy to hang out with. Thanks both of you! Would love to come back.
