Description

The Dolomites are well-known for its exciting via ferratas. If you want to try some of the best routes, join me on this week-long via ferrata trip!

The Dolomites are located in northern Italy, near the Austrian border. Known for its breathtaking scenery, they are also famous for their role as an outpost during World War II, the residue of which you will see on this trip.

Our starting point will be the beautiful alpine town of Cortina d’Ampezzo. Throughout seven days, we’ll explore the area known as ‘Sexten Dolomites‘, which are home to the Dolomites’ most iconic landmark: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (also known as ‘Drei Zinnen’ in German or ‘Three peaks of Lavaredo’, in English).

We will hike and climb several via ferrata routes, reaching the summits of some of the Dolomites’ most impressive peaks and through historic tunnels.

This trip offers an intimate size of 3-5 participants, making it a manageable and fun week-long adventure!

Enjoy the best of the Dolomite mountains on this via ferrata adventure! Send me a request to book this trip and get ready to have an extraordinary experience.

Mountain Guide

The mountains are my home. Ever higher, steeper and more difficult climbs are what motivates me. After Reinhold Messner , I am the first South Tyrolean to successfully climb all Seven Summits . I have set foot on the highest peaks in the world a total of 14 times and intend to continue making my high altitude dreams come true in the coming years.

Come with me and discover the most beautiful mountains in the Alps and the Dolomites or join one of my trips to some of the most stunning mountain areas in the world. You can also climb the 7 summits with me!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
