Piz Boè is the highest peak in the Sella group (a massif on the Dolomites), rising to 3152 m. Cesare Piazetta via ferrata takes you up to the top!
The starting point of this via ferrata route is Passo Pordoi, at an easy access from Canazei (Trento) or Arabba (Belluno).
A hiking trail passing along a World War I memorial site will lead us to the base of the route in one hour.
This is a quite challenging and demanding via ferrata. Because of that, it's important to be in a very good physical condition and having previous climbing skills. The first 100 meters are the most steep and difficult. However, there are some terraced sections to relax.
The whole trip can take between 4-6 hours.
Would you like to challenge youserlf in this superb via ferrata? Send me a request so we can organize this together!

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.

Paolo, my guide, was incredibly supportive and friendly. He gave me lots of information about the area, the mountains and the local culture. He gave me lots of advice about how best to move through the ferrata, me feel super safe when I was unsure but also gave me the freedom to work out some of moves which is exactly what I wanted as I develop my climbing skills. He helped me to plan everything I needed as well as timings. I would honestly give him 10 out of 10. Abigail, my booking agent, was also fantastic. I had many many many questions (!) and she was so patient and informative.

Amazing tour with Paolo from Renato & Guides' team! Fantastic via ferratas, hikes on top of mountains and stays in refuges. 5 star my wife and I loved it! Thanks again!

We enjoyed our tour of the Dolomites so much, it was beautiful and very fun. We wish the preparation guidance for the trip had been shared earlier, as we weren’t sure what to bring and packed too much. We also had very little details about how extensive the hiking would be, so we weren’t as prepared as we would’ve liked to be. We would’ve liked to have a more leisurely pace to allow for breaks and more photos.

Cannot emphasize enough how great of an experience we had with this explore-share and our via ferrata trip. Company was very communicative, which was extremely reassuring leading up to the trip. Through the explore-share, we were connected with a local guide named Fabio, who was one of the best guides I have ever had. Fabio was proactive with understanding our fitness and goals for the trip, and also went above and beyond during our trip actively tailoring our route to make sure we had the best experience possible. Easily 5/5 stars, would love to experience another via ferrata again and would absolutely love to use Fabio as a guide again.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
