Via Ferrata trips – Cortina D’Ampezzo

Me and my wife and 16 years old son had a wonderful day with our guide Etienne. Our first plan was to go via Ferrara to del Formenton in Cortina. Etienne suggested that we would go to another place near Passo Falzarego. We had an excellent trip with a excellent guide. It was very nice that Etienne could speak English. If I come back to Dolomites for off piste skiing, I will definitely contact him.

Enrico was great, fantastic hike/climb & views. I would recomend this trip.

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.

Had an amazing time with Enrico and Mauro. The views are just incredible and it was great to do something a bit different from just walking/hiking. They provided all the equipment and knew exactly where we were going and even took photos for us along the way which made the whole experience great. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to via ferrata in the Dolomites!

Great trip! Enrico planned it perfectly and had a ton of info about the area. Highly recommend!

Enrico is a great guide!

Enrico was a great guide. He gave us some history of the mountain while climbing and took photos for us while hiking up to Punta Penia. Very professional and helpful guide!

We highly recommend Etienne for your outdoor adventures. We were really impressed with how he worked to customize our trip based on our specific skill set and interests. Etienne is friendly and knowledgeable!

This was one of the highlights of our visit to the Dolomites. We are a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and are not experienced climbers. Etienne was supportive and helpful throughout and led us to the top of Punta Anna. It was a little more challenging than we expected but he was patient and took extra time and care to help us reach the peak. The views were totally worth it, and the expeience is something we talk about as a family that was amazing. I would recommend Etienne to everyone!

Our guide was Daniele. He was helpful, and we felt safe with him. He had good knowledge about the area, and made the via ferrata a truly fun experience

Etienne was very accommodating and adjusted to our skill level. We didn\'t do the Monte Paterno via ferrata because we were too tired from the day before, so Etienne took us on an easier via ferrata which had a tunnel from WWI.

Renato had organized Bruno as a guide as he couldn’t do the day we wanted. Renato Everything was well communicated. Bruno was an excellent guide who knew so much about the Dolomites. All in all a great day. Thoroughly recommended.

Etienne was a fantastic guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We did a one day beginner level trip on the via ferrata. Etienne extremely knowledgeable of the history, geography, and culture of the area. I would highly recommend Etienne for anyone from novice beginners to advanced experts.

Etienne was an awesome guide for our one day trip. He was very patient with my husband who had never done anything like a Via Ferrata before. Very knowledgable and I would recommend him to anyone!

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!

I was a bit upset the night before the climb to find my guide was I\'ll and asked another guide to take his place. His father Renato Bernard was excellent and I had a wonderful climb and day. Fantastic!

This tour was unanimously my family\'s favorite part of our trip. The view from the top is the most stunning 360 view I\'ve ever seen. Enrico, our guide, was clear, calm and engaging. We had a person who is terrified of heights, and Enrico did an excellent job of balancing patient encouragement with determined push. For those more fearless who are experienced hikers and climbers, this particular via ferrata may be a bit underwhelming. A few of us wanted more of a challenge. Overall, fantastic.

We had a great experience with Mr.Enrico Geremia for our via ferrata trip up Marmolada. Enrico was a friendly guide and did not compromise with any of the safety equipment. We felt secure all the while with Enrico. We would certainly recommend our friends who have plans to hike the Dolomites in the future to use this platform :)

had a great experience climbing Punta anna with Etien he was a fantastic guide and I would defiantly be interested in booking another climb with him

This was a life changing experience! Etienne was super professional and all three of us felt completely safe during the via ferratas! I never though we could climb such a difficult Via Ferrata like Cesco Tomaselli on the second day, but with his experience, teachings and the confidence transmitted we were able to climb that Monster! And what an amazing adventure it was! Never felt so alive in my life! Etienne can help and guide during the ascend but at the same time it seems like we are climbing a rock wall with a friend! Super friendly and with a vast knowledge of the dolomites area. He even took my backpack when I felt exhausted due to the heat. Thank you very much for the 2 days and for sure next year we\'ll be there for more adventures! João Carvalhosa

Etienne was a great guide! He is very friendly, knowledgable and adventurous and we had an amazing Via Ferrata excursion to Monte Paterno with him. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Dolomites. This is perfect for people trying out Via Ferrata for the first time - we felt safe and secure the entire time. Thanks a ton, Etienne! We had an amazing time and can\'t wait to be back!

The tour was an amazing introduction to the Dolomites and Via Ferrata, leaving us sure to return to the area. Etienne’s knowledge and passion for the area is infectious and adds an extra dimension to the experience. The routes are breathtaking in themselves and a great physical challenge, with Etienne’s knowledge adding a great intellectual undertsanding of the area and it’s history. Everything was super organised and really easy with the help of the Explore Share team, thanks!

It. Was. So. Amazing. The trek was everything I hoped it would be and more. Enrico was a super guide - he was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and I could tell he really loves sharing the Dolomites with people. He organized a fantastic trip - the huts we stayed in were amazing and the scenery was unbelievable.

We had two wonderful days in the Dolomites. Etienne Bernard guided us two days. The first day was easy (as we asked for). the next day he recommended a medium via ferrata trip, it was challenging, but we loved it. Etienne was very experienced, and guided us on a trip we never could done alone.

The trip was incredible!!! Etienne was an excellent guide. At all times during the hike and via ferrata he made 100% sure that we were comfortable and safe. He was pleasant and shared loads of local knowledge which made the trip all the more welcoming. He took photographs and gave us time to take in all the amazing views that the trip had to offer. He had all the gear that we required and leading up to the trip was easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend the trip and Etienne as a guide.

Etienne was fantastic and we would definitely work with him again. He has a nice, pleasant personality, so we were happy to spend the day with him. He also has a sense of expertise and trustworthiness that makes you feel more comfortable and confident in your activity. We ended up doing 2 little ferratas instead of Punta Anna, which was a good decision. We are novices and were concerned about the inclement weather during our trip. The day before our climb we had severe thunderstorms that made us both very nervous. Etienne met up with us the night before and discussed alternative plans. Being about to meet him face to face and discuss our desires and concerns in person made us feel much better going into the experience and also with Etienne as our guide. I also loved that he took pictures of us and sent them to us afterwards. It\'s so nice to have beautiful, high quality pictures of the experience!

Loved the trip!

Our trip with Herbert was fabulous! He was very accommodating, picking us up from our hotel and then dropping us off at the train station. The via ferrata itself was great, we had a blast. Herbert guided us well through the tougher sections. I felt safe and confident the entire time. We would absolutely book Herbert again, and I was very happy with explore-share. Thanks!
