Via Ferrata
Andrea Pellegrini
Mountain guide, Dolomites lead
Born in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Knows every iron rung on the Tofane and most of the stories behind them.
Background
A life in the mountains.
Andrea was born in Cortina d'Ampezzo and climbed his first via ferrata on the Tofane with his grandfather. He qualified as a guide with the Italian Alpine Guides in 2008 and joined Aventura to lead our Dolomites programme.
His via ferrata weeks mix the famous lines with quieter routes he knows from home, and he tells the history of the First World War paths as you climb them. He also leads multi-pitch days in the Sella and Cinque Torri groups.
In the shoulder seasons he restores old mountain paths with the local section of the Italian Alpine Club.
