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.

FAQs

What is the best way to reach the meeting point and move around in the Dolomites?

We strongly recommend renting a car to explore the Dolomites. Public transport is not as frequent as in a city. Being independent is key because meeting points are often early in the morning and can be hard to reach.

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.

What people are saying about Renato & Guides' team

MARINA

Amazing experience! This was my very first via ferrata, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Fabio Trivieri (@il_trivel). Fabio is an incredibly experienced alpine guide. From the very beginning, he was patient in explaining how to use all the equipment and kept sharing helpful tips throughout the entire route. I was quite nervous at first, but his calm attitude and confidence made me feel completely safe. Before long, I was enjoying every single moment of the climb. Fabio suggested the Tomaselli Via Ferrata on Sass de Stria, and it was the perfect choice. The day included a beautiful approach hike through the mountains, fascinating First World War tunnels, the via ferrata itself, and a final hike to the summit. The scenery was breathtaking, the historical context made the experience even more special, and we were lucky enough to have the mountain almost entirely to ourselves. If you’re looking for a guide who is highly skilled, safety-focused, patient, and genuinely passionate about the mountains, I couldn’t recommend Fabio more highly.

Davide was awesome! We really enjoyed our experience and appreciate his knowledge of the area, recommendation of which via Ferrata to do, patience guiding us through a new adventure as it was our first time, and good humor. I highly recommend! It is well worth it.

Gavin

We had a fabulous experience. Patrick Carminati was a brilliant guide: patient, calm, funny and gracious. He took us on some great ferratas with fabulous views. He adjusted the route as needed due to the weather too and took really good care of us. 10/10
