Description

If you have some via ferrata experience and would like to prepare for future routes, you can’t miss this program to the via ferrata Degli Alpini on Col dei Bos. Follow me on this half-day trip in the Dolomites!

Situated near Cortina d’Ampezzo, the via ferrata on Col dei Bos is a wonderful opportunity in the Dolomites to improve your skills and gain confidence in the activity. We’ll follow an equipped route through the rocks and face an elevation gain of 500 meters.

On our way, we’ll see several remains of World War I and you’ll learn about the history of the area. As for the descent, we have two options. We can either take a 1-hour steep and demanding trail, or we can choose an easier route to Forcella Lagazuoi (30 minutes).

Regarding difficulty, this program is intermediate, so it’s important to have some prior via ferrata experience and to be in good physical shape. Of course, I’ll be there to help you with everything that you may need at all times.

Mountain Guide

I was born in the plain in 1983, but as often happens to those who were born there, I have always loved the mountains. I was three years old when I wore my first skis, not knowing that this would become my strongest passion ... Skiing, walking, climbing: it is since I was a child that I go to the mountains, first with my parents and my grandfather and then with my friends.

The degree in forestry science was only the logical consequence of this passion, as well as the beautiful summers spent managing the refuge Capanna Punta Penia in Marmolada (the highest refuge in the Dolomites, on top of the highest mountain in the Dolomites!), which I call "the bus without wheels" and all over the Dolomites!
The last step (for now...) was to become a Mountain Guide, to let you experience what the mountain transmits to me!
… and to show you the famous " bus without wheels”

Giovanni was an exceptionally wonderful guide! Our family spent the day with him climbing in Cinque Torri. He was incredibly patient with our children, and was able to find routes that we all enjoyed climbing. We loved every minute of the day and would recommend this trip to any family interested in doing some sport climbing near Cortina/Cinque Torri.
