Description

I will take you on an adventurous 1-day rock climbing trip to the magnificent towers of Cinque Torri with your complete family! You’ll have an unforgettable experience as you and your kids participate in this group activity, bonding and enjoying every bit of adventure near Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Located in the Dolomites, Cinque Torri is an ideal place to start for first-time climbers. But, don’t be disappointed if you are an experienced climber as there is an array of routes to choose from, both for beginners and veterans.

One of the most beautiful climbing spots in the region, you’ll be mesmerized by the stunning view of the surrounding rocks and the serene Dolomite valley from the top. I will ensure your safe climb, and as you’ll rise, be ready to experience ‘verticle emotions’ with your family!

We’ll meet in the morning on the day of the climb, and go to Cinque Torri chairlift. We’ll take the lift to the beautiful belvedere of Rifugio Scoiattoli-an alpine- style chalet surrounded by magnificent peaks. The view from this open-air gallery is outstanding!

Next, we’ll walk down to the bottom of the rocks and explore the area. I’ll teach you about the correct use of equipment and rope and instruct you how to climb! Trust me, you’ll feel no less than an ‘alpine climber’ as you scale up to 10/ 20 m, for the first time!

There are numerous vertices ranging from 10m to 200m which provide multiple routes of varying length and difficulty for experienced climbers as well.

We’ll also learn a bit about the history as some of the fiercest combats of WW1 took place here. You’ll have a feel of the bygone times as you come across various historical trails and trenches in the area.

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!

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.

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.
