Punta Anna (2731 m) is an impressive pillar which belongs to the Tofane mountain group.

Our starting point for this trip can be Pomedes Hut (cable car) or Dibona Hut (by car). One way or another, we'll reach the via ferrata in half an hour and climb along a beautiful ridge. Then, we'll reach Giussani Hut for a rest and finally go back to the Dibona Hut.

This via ferrata is located in a stunning scenery, so we'll enjoy amazing views of the Cortina Valley, Cinque Torri and Antelao. 

Please contact me if you want to challenge yourself in via ferrata Punta Anna! I'll be glad to be your guide in this wonderful section of the Dolomites.

About the guide

I started my career as an aerospace engineer, my first passion and then became a full-time IFMGA mountain guide, my second passion, since 2013. Working as a mountain guide gratifies me a lot. I enjoy very much transmitting my knowledge about the mountains and its activities to my friends and clients.

I’m based in the Dolomites where I have climbed most of the mountain surroundings us here, including “Via attraverso il Pesce” in Marmolada and “Captain sky-hook” in Civetta. I also enjoy a lot guiding in the rest of the Alps, ice climbing, ski touring, freeride skiing, rock climbing and mountaineering.

Feel free to contact me if you want to live a great adventure in the Dolomites or anywhere else in the Alps, during the winter or the summer. It will be a great pleasure for me to guide you and allow you to reach your goal. I work with other mountain guides in the Veneto area, such as Filippo, Massimo, and my brother Daniele. If I am unavailable on the date you are interested in coming climbing, skiing, or engaging in other activities with me, I can connect you with one of them.

Enrico è stato simpaticissimo e paziente con noi che eravamo un gruppo di principianti. Consiglio Punta Anna come prima esperienza di via ferrata ma anche per chi è più abituato penso sia un must. Consigliatissimo!!

10/10 would recommend! Our guide Enrico made this one of the best experiences of our trip. From helping with the more technical spots on the climb to the wealth of knowledge he provided about the Dolomiti, climbing and Italy in general. Enrico was so personable and an amazing photographer. Can not say enough good things about our experience!

Enrico was a terrific guide - super friendly, very knowledgable & a fun guy. He's also a good photographer to help capture some pics when you're up on the via ferrata! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in the area.

As a group of 4 we went on a via ferrata adventure with Enrico and had an amazing time. Communication with Enrico was straightforward and he picked the perfect route: challenging but not too hard and consequently everybody in the group had a great time despite different levels of experience. It's very clear that Enrico is extremely competent and has a lot of experience. We always felt completely safe with him and he was very encouraging and fun to talk to. Looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended!

Enrico guided my family of 4 including 2 boys age 14 and 17 to do the Via Ferrata on Punta Anna. It was a fantastic day. First there was a vigorous walk up from Rifugio Dibona to the start of the Via Ferrata. We are a active family who hikes often but at the higher altitude, we still huffed a bit with the hike. But Enrico was patient and gave us whatever opportunities to take pictures and rest as we needed. During that hike, Enrico conversed with my boys to get a sense of how comfortable they may be with heights and climbing. Once the Via Ferrata started, it was just amazing. Enrico gave us clear instructions about how to do the Ferrata safely and kept an eye on us make sure that we were comfortable and having fun. He took amazing pictures of our family during the climb so that we did not have to fumble with our cameras and risk dropping it. That really allows me to enjoy the moment because it is indescribably beautiful and breathtaking. He then send us the pictures the next day and they were great and better than what I could have done. At the tricky parts of the climb, he offered to pull us up by rope if we were uncomfortable but we were all able to do it on our own. However, for others who may be unsure, it may be helpful to know that he can assist you in this way. Then on the way down, he showed us how to do a gravel run which we have never done and it was enormously fun! We cannot recommend Enrico enough as a guide for Via Ferrata, rock climbing , or skiing tour. He even gave us recommendations for future tours that we hope to do. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Italy.
