From, per person
€1,480
Guide fees, group equipment and planning included. Dates on request.
Overview
What to expect.
Cortina d'Ampezzo is the home of the via ferrata. Many of the routes follow paths and tunnels built during the First World War, and they lead to summits of more than 3,000 m with views across the whole Dolomites.
This week combines the most famous lines with quieter routes that Andrea knows from childhood. You should be comfortable with exposure and fit for days of up to eight hours. Our Initiation course or a few graded routes beforehand is ideal preparation.
