Description
Follow me on a rock climbing trip planned just for you. Tell me your goals, available time and skill level and I’ll take you to the best route in the impressive Marmolada, Italian Dolomites for an unforgettable experience!
The Marmolada mountain, also known as “the Queen of the Dolomites”, is full of incredible features for rock climbing: it is the highest mountain in the region, the only one with a permanent glacier and has the largest sheer wall in the Dolomites. The climbs are long but there are options to take the cable car down, if you are tired.
On this trip, we’ll be climbing the South Face, which has an altitude of 800 meters and a length of 3 kilometers. The access to the climbing routes is close to Rifugio Contrin; you could stay there the night before and/or after the trip if you want a full Alps experience. To access the routes we need to go by Ombretta pass to reach Marmolada di Penia.
So follow me on a unique climbing adventure made just for you in the stunning Marmolada.

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, Davide, Giorgia and Luca.
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.

Robert had everything we needed, took us on a fun via ferrata and took pictures of us along the way
Gina
It was our family of three's first Via Ferrata, and it was such an amazing adventure! Robert kept us feeling very comfortable and safe, shared his knowledge of the area, and took pictures to capture our experience. We had many questions prior to our adventure day and Robert was very timely in responding to all our curiosities! I highly recommend Robert, Renato & Guides, and Explore-Share for adventuring with confidence! Check out our summit picture with Robert ~
Matthew
Paolo was an incredible guide, and was very knowledgeable about the area and the climb. He made my wife & I feel safe, but still pushed us to the limits of our comfort zone and got the adrenaline pumping. He was very experienced on the mountain, and was a pleasure to climb with. We would highly recommend him to any of our friends & family.

Roberto was excellent! We climbed Piazzetta, a very challenging via ferrata, and he was right there with step-by-step guidance whenever needed. He was very enjoyable and informative, and I highly recommend asking for Roberto Ausermiller for your next climb.
