Description
Do you want to discover the most popular freeride descent of the Dolomites? Then join me for this day-trip and let’s ski the amazing Val Mesdi route!
This popular 6km descent runs through a steep ravine enclosed by high rocky walls. It crosses the Sella Group from the northern slopes of Piz Boè (3152 m) to the town of Colfosco, on the Val Badia valley.
Our day trip starts taking the Sass Pordoi cable car, which offers breathtaking views of the unique alpine landscape. Then, after a short descent and a 45-minutes hike (we might need skins), we will reach the Rifugio Boè, where Val Mesdi (or Val Mezdì), the most popular freeride descent in the Dolomite Mountains, awaits us.
At the end of this incredible run we will reach the Alta Badia ski resort, in Colfosco. And after skiing part of the Sella Ronda, another famous circuit of the Sella Group, we will be back at our starting point.
So, if you are ready to try the most awesome freeride run of the Dolomites, then please contact me. I’ll be glad to enjoy this unique winter adventure with you!
I also offer a Freeride day outing in Marmolada and a 3-day ski touring expedition in Val di Fassa. Check them out!

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
Joan
Davide was great! Very competent and have the perfect amount of instruction, not too much and not too little, which I loved. I like some degree of independence and Davide sensed that quickly and was able to provide instructions at the right places and gave me enough space to make my own while 100% ensuring my safety. He was super patient, allowing me tome to retrieve my phone from Rifugio Auronzo when I discovered it was missing, when we were nearly approaching Rif Locatelli. This tool an additional 1.5 to 2 hours of his time. I am very grateful for his patience and very grateful that my phone was handed in, at Rif Auronzo. Davide was super competent, gave the perfect amount of instructions and supervision to ensure I completed the via ferrata safely, as it was my first via ferrata. Yet, he gave me enough space to figure out my own steps in the steep sections going up and down, and I really appreciated that.
Shelia
My friend and I are pretty new to outdoor climbing, and Robert made it a seamless and fun adventure! He gave us a few route options to pick from and did not disappoint on the day! He was professional, knowledgeable and whether he knows it or not saved my butt a couple of times on the tower! I highly recommend this trip if you're doing any climbing in the Dolomites. He's been climbing there his whole life and is an absolute expert.
Michael
Marcello was spectacular. First time seriously rock climbing and we did a 600 foot face. He was patient, clear, and very helpful in the experience. I will be back.
Rodrigo
