Via Ferrata in Trentino-Alto Adige

We did not end up getting guided up Tridentina by Renato. We went up Piccolo Cir with a lady named Benny. She was great and a patient guide. Her recommendation to go to Piccolo Cir instead of Tridentina for our group was a good recommendation based on our experience, the weather conditions, and allotted time. I would have liked more guidance from Explore-Share upfront on choosing the best via ferrata for our group.

Guide Benny served us very well. (We never met Renato. ) she kept us safe and gave us all the adventure we could handle. She also gave us a a lift to our Rifugio at day’s end—beyond the call of duty. We highly recommend her.

Our guide was Walter Del Frè and we would like use his name in our review. He was very kind, patient and knowledgeable about the mountains and even the plants. We would recommend him to anyone! HOWEVER the same cannot be said about the Explore-Share company. Their communication was not personal (auto replies most of the time) and communicating via WhatsApp felt unprofessional to me. The 2 major issues were a) at no stage were we issued with a formal receipt (even though we asked for one) and b) we kept getting messages to pay after we had done so. In both cases we wer told not to worry. Well, I did, and it eas an extremely stressful experience.

Our guide Jacomo was incredible! He told us so much about the mountains and the area, about the fauna and the history of ferratas. We had an amazing time with him.

The guide was excellent. The trip has to be cancelled due to an avalanche so I gave 3 stars. Explore share were none the wiser but the guide made contact and alternative arrangements were made and all worked out well.

Marika is a great guide. We spent an amazing day together. She made our day challenging but at the same time we felt safe and relaxed.

Hi. According to your recommendation, we canceled the family ferrta ( too hot for 5 years old girl) Please let me know what about the refund Thank

Great via ferrata experience with Enrico, loved his stories about the mountains and was very helpful during our climb. Would definitely book Enrico when we go again!

Our guide was informed that we were 2 and that we had our own gear. Instead we were 6 and had no gear or experience at all. He solved the problem within 15 minutes and gave us an amazing experience!

We had a nice guide taking us through the Dolemites. He made us feel secure and adventurous at the same time. Thanks for taking us Giorgio.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time. The via Ferrata was great, the view was stunning and our guide, Benny, was wonderful. She oriented us of what’s coming, knowledgeable about the area, and making sure we’re comfortable with the pace. She helped us also with our accommodation to and from Figo di Fassa to the foot of the chairlift which we really appreciated her for that. About the via ferrata, make sure you wear mountain shoes.

Our guide was Robert Cecco and he was great. Highly recommend this Via Ferrata, it was amazing! Can’t wait to go back again to the Dolomites and explore more via ferratas.

Renato was not free but Benny, the guide arranged for us, was great. he made the via ferrata perfect. with her help we got to the top and we had great memories of the trip.We took Via Ferrata Roda di Vael instead of Oscar Schuster. The route was good for beginners. Not easy but not too difficult.

Marika was wonderful, she had good suggestions on which via ferrata to try, she was quick to respond to questions, and she made us feel safe on the via ferrata. Highly recommend!

We were in contact with Renato before we booked the vacation. He was not polite when we asked about the cost and informations about the accomodations of our trip in the mountains. BUT Renato couldn’t be our guide at the and, so we had Bruno as our guide. Bruno was the best guide ever for our vacation! He was very polite, funny and kind. Thanks to him we had an amazing vacation!!

we did not have Renato as our guide ,we had Bruno who was wonderful. We were late for both days but Bruno just took it in hand and adapted the situation to suit. We had two lovely days with him doing the Piz de Cir and the Piz de Masares. The original days I booked on the Osker Schuster and Tridente de Sella, Bruno felt would be too much for two of our group so we changed to make it comfortable for all of us.Bruno was great company and had a great sense of humour !!

We had a great time. Enrico was fantastic and very encouraging. The scenery was wonderful. Would definitely do it again!

Our guide was not Renato Bernard. It was Robert Cecco. The entire experience was wonderful!

Robert was a wonderful guide and showed me the most beautiful terrain I’ve seen and I live in Norway. I had a wonderful time and would love to do is again. Thank you for such a memorable time in the mountains!

Explore Share really should sort out their booking system. It is very dated and unnecessarily complicated. The guide Benny though was awesome!

Renato was a fantastic guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the dolomites and was able to educate me and my friends about the region while providing a safe and fun Via Ferrata experience. I would highly recommend Renato for anyone looking for an experienced Via Ferrata guide

We can truly recomend having any kind of trip with Marika. She is fantastic in every way. She is very skilled and knows the area very well.

We had an absolute blast with Bruno! Such a great day and great memories! Super grateful that he took a lot of pictures and shared them with us!

Did via Ferrato with my four kids. Renato was patient, professional and kind. A fantastically exciting day for all and felt in safe hands. Highly recommend.

Greetings to Marica - excellent arrangements !

We loved our guide and our adventure. She was very accommodating to our needs and nice to be around. I would totally book with explore share again.

I had an amazing time with Marika! It was a great day!

Marika was amazing! She was very knowledgeable of the history of the Dolomites and the terrains. She made us feel very safe and comfortable- would highly recommend another tour with her! Excellent guide and highlight of our Italy trip!

Our family with kids ages 5, 9 and 12 had a wonderful day with Marika at a via ferrata! She was amazing at catering to the needs of our 3 very different children including one who was feeling anxious. Our 5 year old was completely enamored with Marika & wanted to stay in Italy with her! In addition to being a lovely person I felt safe the entire time and she was appropriately cautious as you would want anyone to be with your children. Highly highly recommended!!

Very happy about this faboulous day in the dolomites. We travelled with 3 kids and it was an unforgettable experience! Many thanks to Marika for her patience!

Fantastic 3-day via-ferrata adventure at the Dolomites having Étienne as our 5* guide. Beautiful views, excellent weather and great company. Physical effort and the difficulty of the via-ferrata were challenging but adequate to our level, the mountain refuges were comfortable and the food was good. Overall, highly recommended to clear your mind of the hustle and bustle of the daily rotine.

Explore share were highly responsive and found me a guide very last minute who was excellent. My only comment would be that due to the speed at which we completed the route, the day ended early afternoon so it would have been nice to fill out the rest of the time - it would therefore be helpful to clarify what is included in the price (e.g. am I paying for time such as a full day, or the route etc).

Loved Etienne!! We would definitely be back to have another adventure. He was very accommodating to our capabilities and the change in weather. He explained techniques to hike better and more efficiently that we plan to use in the future. He also quickly suggested multiple itineraries because it was raining on our first day and would have made the Via Ferratas a bit dangerous. Overall, having him on the team made it so much more fun! Highly recommended!

Booked 3 days via Ferrata tour with guide Etienne through Explorer-Share. The booking process was easy, online customer service was helpful in checking availabilities and got me connected with the right guide. During the planning phase, Etienne was helpful and responsive. Based on our experiences, he recommend 3 day tour in the Garden of Roses region, and made all lodging arrangement beforehand. The trip was fantastic, definitely the highlight of our trip for both me and my 2 boys (age 9 and 11). Etienne was knowledgeable, and made all the right calls to helps us staying dry when weather turned worse. He communicated extremely well with my young boys, built their confidence and trust, and challenged them the same time. I would recommend Etienne to all my friends and hopefully we can have his services again in our future trips. Thank you

Wonderful experience for my daughters and me. We climbed in the Cinque 5 and had a beautiful and exhilarating experience

We had a great day out with Marika and were spoilt with amazing views and a great climb up Monte Averau. We hiked up to the via ferrata from Cinque Torri instead of getting the chairlift and were treated with incredible views of cloud inversions on the mountains. The via ferrata itself is quite short, so great for beginners (more time hiking than on the via ferrata) but the views from the top were sensational!

Since Renato could not confirm our trip, his son Etienne (who is also a mountain guide) did a perfect job guiding us firstly on Via Ferratas and going all the way up to a pure rock climbing on the last day. We have gained exactly what we've wanted from this trip and thanks to Etienne - even more! Etienne showed himself as a professional guide, who truly knows the mountain, who is able to quickly evaluate his client's capabilities and suggest appropriate routes in order to enhance the excitement, and who is willing to share his experience and knowledge to increase your degree of immersion!

The trip itself and Refaelo the guide was great and they even gave a refund for my daughter who didn't participate at last due to sickness. But All the corresponding before the trip was bad. No details were given about the ferrata and not even about the meeting point and time. It took a lot of time to get answers for my questions and sometimes didn't get any.

Marika is a competent and professional guide. I did the tour (La via Ferrata Tridentina, located in the Sella Group, just below the Gardena pass) with my 11 year old son and the kindness of marika's was truly commendable. ****really recommended****

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.

Enrico and the staff at explore share were extremely nice to work with. To our dismay, the weather didn’t cooperate and we were unable to do our hike. They were very quick in processing our refund. Hopefully we can try again in the future and will definitely consider Enrico and explore share again.

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 :)

Etienne was an excellent tour guide of for our first Via Ferrata in the Dolomites. We had done one before (Telluride) but this was a very different experience. We felt safe and challenged the whole way. Etienne is very knowledgable of the terrain, valley, and history of the area. He was prepared and allowed us to gain confidence throughout the day. If you want to make the jump form hiking (trekking) to something more, definitely go for the via ferrata in the Dolomites and use Etienne Bernard!

Great ferrata, knowledgeable and friendly guide

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.

I went with Mark Oberlechner who is a great guide!!! And we took the 4 day tour so not this one.

My family had a great time with our Via Ferrata trip! We all loved our guide, Renato!! He really made all the difference in making our experience from good to great! He was very mindful and goes out of his way with ensuring that our family has an enjoyable and safe experience. He chose the right degree of difficulty for our trip. We enjoyed hearing about all his tips, stories, future trip recommendations. He took a lot of pictures of our family at great scenic spots. He even treated us to cappucinno drinks along the way. We enjoyed being together with him so much, we shared beverage, snack and stories with him after the activity was over. We will definitely seek him as our guide again next time and will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

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.

Great route, great guide, a perfect introduction to the Dolomites and to Via Ferrata. Giorgio is super friendly and approachable, nice company for the day, and a well qualified outdoor guide. If you are new to climbing on rocks, or not very experienced with long hikes on tough, exposed terrain, then you will find this a big adventure, but totally doable. If you are experienced and fit on rocks and hikes, then you will still find this a very satisfying & fun day in the mountains. Thanks Giorgio!

My wife and I had an incredible experience on our via ferrata trek. Marica was so helpful when it came to directions, choosing the right trail and even provided a rain jacket for my wife as she did not have one. Marica was very safety conscious and we had complete trust in her abilities and knowledge of the area. Thank you

Our dolomites experience was amazing! Mauro was really nice and patient with me and my wife. We changed our itinerary on the last day of dolomites as the via ferrata on piz boe would have been too difficult, instead we did a smaller one on Mauro's suggestion.

Etienne is a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable with the geography, history and biodiversity of the Dolomites. We felt very safe with him throughout climbing/hiking the Via Ferrata. Having conversations with him while going uphill made the whole experience very enjoyable. He also recommended other activities we could do for the rest of our stay, which was very helpful. We would love to come back one day in the winter to enjoy the rest of the amazing aspects of the Dolomites. Thank you!

Our guide, Christian, was very experienced and knoweldgeable about the area. The climb is suitable for both beginners and the more confident. Would definately recommend.

Enrico was an excellent guide and his routes were amazing. He was great with condfident and nonconfident climbers alike. I would recconmend him to anyone.

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!

Etienne was a fantastic guide, listening to our group and showed us the fantastic Dolomites! Keeping it fun and exciting, I will definitely be back in contact to book our next adventure! Thanks Etienne!

Etienne was a fantastic tour guide and I highly recommend this trip. He goes above and beyond to help you enjoy the Dolomites, offering knowledge and advice to make the most of your time in the Region. The tour is well timed going up, across, lunch and down so you never get tired of it. The views on this walk are amazing! Via Ferrata is a great next step when you want a bit more than a mountain walk. Also great to access the area out of ski season in summer rather than snow. Would highly recommend!

Our first via ferrata experience for our group of four was wonderful! Renato was great in communicating/coordinating with us. He adapted well to the different skill/fitness levels of those in our group. He even took pictures of us throughout the trip. We later found out it was his birthday! What a great way to celebrate a birthday by sharing in what he loves to do. Would highly recommend for beginners.

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!

He was really really fantastic and our trip was amazing! It was myself, my friend and our two sons and Enrico challenged us all and was really patient and great with our boys. We had 5 days of hiking and via ferrata in an incredibly beautiful uncrowded part of the Dolomites. I felt 100% comfortable with Enrico that he made sure our kids were safe in every situation. We all had an unforgettable experience and want to come back for more :). I keep telling people how great explore share is!
