The Dolomites, a stunning mountain range in northern Italy, are the place where via ferratas were born. In this 3-day trip, we’ll take some of these protected climbing routes and reach Marmolada, ‘the queen of the Dolomites’.
Rising up to 3343 m, Marmolada is the highest mountain in this range and has several peaks. Besides, it boasts the only glacier in the Dolomites, the Marmolada Glacier.
We’ll take different medium-level via ferrata routes each day. None of them are long, but there’s an option to make the trip easier the third day in case you’re too tired. We’ll also visit Marmolada Glacier.
Besides, we’ll spend the night in beautiful mountain huts (Padon hut and Pian dei Fiacconi hut) with stunning views of the Sella Group and Fedaia Lake.

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.
