Description

The Marmolada, or “Queen of the Dolomites” is the highest summit in this mountain range and the only one with a glacier. It is 3343 m high and lies at the frontier of Veneto and Trentino.

There are different routes to reach the summit. The west route has a via ferrata which makes it more accessible for those with less experience. However, it’s still a difficult adventure, so you must have a good physical condition!

Keep in mind that the ascent is done from Alba (1500m), so there's an elevation gain of 1800 meters to be done in one very long day, starting at 5 AM, so you have to be very fit. Both the ascent and descent are done through the via ferrata.

If you want to enjoy this trip at a less demanding pace, we can also do it in 1 day and a half, sleeping at Contrin refuge, or in 2 days, sleeping in Capanna Punta Penia, right below Marmolada summit!

On this program, we will head up the west ridge of Marmolada and enjoy one of the most beautiful via ferratas in all of the Alps. The views while going up and from the top are really breathtaking.

The best time to do it is from June to September.

Please contact us if you want to experience a great adventure in the highest mountain in the Dolomites. We will be happy to organize an unforgettable via ferrata adventure in Italy for you!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
