Description

Join me for an exciting and cultural adventure to the Sentiero dei Fiori, in the Italian Alps. This magical place was part of the first line of combat during World War I. Come and experience all its rich historic relevance on this wonderful via ferrata experience.

We’ll start at Passo del Tonale and take the cableway to Passo Presena. Then, we’ll go to Passo Castellaccio, where the real adventure begins. We’ll get to see equipment from the Great War, such as artillery positions, shelters, tunnels and villages. We’ll then reach our highest point in the itinerary, Cima Lagoscuro, where all our hard work will be rewarded with stunning views of the Adamello group. Once we are ready, we’ll go down the Lagoscuro Pass to the Dark Lake. There, we’ll ascend Maroccaro Pass up to the Presena riverbed and descend the glacier to Tonale.

This trip to Sentiero dei Fiori can be combined with an ascent to some 4000m of the Alps such as Pizzo Bernina, Monte Rosa, Mont Blanc and others.

Send your request and join me on this unique adventure in the Italian Alps. It is the perfect location for via ferrata.

There are other options to enjoy the Italian Alps, as well. I offer freeride skiing day-tours, a ski touring weekend and a via ferrata trip to Via delle Bocchette. Be sure to check them out.

What a great day My daughter(18) and I met our guide, Renzo at the set time, he had the appropriate kit all ready and we then headed up the mountain on the lifts. I did not know quite what to expect of the day having never used a guide before but Renzo immediately put us at ease explaining the day and very interestingly the WWI history behind the route we were taking. The lifts went over a glacier I had actually skied 30+ years ago and it was great and also sad to be able discuss the shocking decline in this and other glaciers with Renzo, a local. As a teacher myself we are taught that a good teacher understands their students and their abilities and then sets lessons to push and extend the students but also not be above their capabilities. Looking back on the day, I can see that, without us knowing, as we were trekked across to the start of our route Renzo was gauging us. Obviously he is very experienced and good at this as the result was an absolutely fantastic day. Renzo pushed us to pretty much our limits both physically and technically without quite going beyond what we could do. The pace of the day was just right with Renzo using his experience to use mountain/rope techniques that others on the route weren’t using to keep the pace up and keep the day both challenging and interesting. He also added in a few extra parts to the route not on the original itinerary, which absolutely thrilled my daughter (exhausted and scared me at my age!--- I loved it though). Another bonus was that being a local Renzo gave us a good education on the history of our route and also environmental issues facing the area. I’m currently now enjoying reading about the history of our route. All in all, with the words of my ex-wife ringing in my ears (Is it safe?, don’t do.. , if anything happens… etc.) my daughter and I felt totally at ease, safe and comfortable throughout the whole day with Renzo. We were in the hands of a true mountain expert who is also a great teacher. And finally…. Renzo, thank you for teaching me about small steps – my lungs really appreciate it on the way up and as well as my knees on the way down!5

As a teacher myself we are taught that a good teacher understands their students and their abilities and then sets lessons to push and extend the students but also not be above their capabilities. Looking back on the day, I can see that, without us knowing, as we were trekked across to the start of our route Renzo was gauging us. Obviously he is very experienced and good at this as the result was an absolutely fantastic day. Renzo pushed us to pretty much our limits both physically and technically without quite going beyond what we could do. The pace of the day was just right with Renzo using his experience to use mountain/rope techniques that others on the route weren’t using to keep the pace up and keep the day both challenging and interesting. He also added in a few extra parts to the route not on the original itinerary, which absolutely thrilled my daughter (exhausted and scared me at my age!--- I loved it though). Another bonus was that being a local Renzo gave us a good education on the history of our route and also environmental issues facing the area. I’m currently now enjoying reading about the history of our route. All in all, with the words of my ex-wife ringing in my ears (Is it safe?, don’t do.. , if anything happens… etc.) my daughter and I felt totally at ease, safe and comfortable throughout the whole day with Renzo. We were in the hands of a true mountain expert who is also a great teacher. And finally…. Renzo, thank you for teaching me about small steps – my lungs really appreciate it on the way up and as well as my knees on the way down!
