Description

Discover the incredible world of via ferrata on a unique adventure to Creste di Costabella, Italy. On this easy trip, friendly for beginners, we’ll combine walks and via ferrata where World War I was fought.

Located between the Biois valley and the San Niccolò valley, Creste di Costabella is a beautiful and historic place with views of the Pale di San Martino, Catinaccio, Sassolungo and Marmolada. This via ferrata adventure takes place along the crest that connects the Monzoni mountains and the Cima dell’Uomo.

For this adventure, you can choose one or more via ferrata days in this stunning location. We’ll meet at the San Pellegrino Pass and take the Costabella chairlift. This will take us to Passo delle Selle. After some walking and via ferrata, passing by some trenches from the First World War, we’ll reach Ciastel de Costabela for a photographic exhibition from the trenches. Then, we begin the descent.

With moderate technical difficulty, this via ferrata is ideal for those who are starting out. Slowly, I’ll show you the way to become more confident in the mountains.

So follow me to this unforgettable experience in the beautiful Dolomites. Book your trip now and start counting the days!

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”

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!

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.

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.
