My brother and I had a great experience with the via ferrata! Mara was our guide and she was very well prepared. I will be recommending this experience to any friends and family that are visiting the area. This is a unique activity that provided fantastic views over the valley.

This was my first time doing a via ferrata! I was definitely a little nervous due to my slight fear of heights, but Max our guide was so confident and an expert that I was put at ease. The maximum group size is 4, so Max was able to ensure everyone was doing things safely.
It was challenging but also not too long, so it felt like such an achievement when we finished. We did the Sass de Stria via ferrata and were treated to the most amazing view at the top of the mountain.
I would recommend having a baseline level of fitness and comfort hiking because it was slightly physically demanding, especially the hike to the top we did afterwards. I would recommend this activity if you're looking to challenge yourself and have fun! Truly memorable experience.
We loved the via Ferrata experience. Our first time on a via Ferrata, I was nervous but our guide Marco was very supportive and encouraging throughout. The views were spectacular and the climb was fun. This was one the highlights of ur Dolomites trip.
Marco was amazing! He made us feel incredibly safe and was extremely knowledgeable. Can not recommend enough. Definitely do not be afraid of heights and running sneakers are not allowed.
This is a wonderful intermediate experience. And Marco was the perfect guide. He explained everything very well and we very attentive to the power level of each climber.
This was an awesome experience. Marco was a really fun guide. Very good first via ferreta. Would suggest this too anyone who like adventure.
First time for a Via Ferrata. Marco was a great guide and explained everything clearly. I felt very safe and can’t wait to do this again! Marco took lots of pics and they are fab! Shared them straight away with family and think they were pretty impressed!! Thanks for such an enjoyable experience Marco 😊
Armin is a very experienced via ferrata guide. It was a safe and fun experience. And, it was great he added a short section of tunnel at the end.
It was very a fun and interesting activity. Our guide Armin was knowledgeable about via ferrata and the history. We felt safe. We had mostly minimal climbing experience, but the path was just challenging enough. I highly recommend!
Marco was awesome! He was so knowledgeable about the area and was great at explaining everything and making sure everyone was feeling confident 😊 he even gave us some extra tips on other things we had planned. This was one of the coolest things my partner and I have done this won’t be the only via ferrata that we do!
Marco is a rockstar. Extremely personable, took extra time to explain everything, took a ton of pictures and gave advice on other things to do while in the area. I would highly highly suggest booking this trip. You won’t regret it.
You should be moderately fit. Pack what the guide suggests- layered clothing, water and snacks. Have fun. Our guide, Marco, was very good and very safety conscious.
Great day our guide Marco was very professional and super helpful everybody really enjoyed exoerience
Andrea was a great guide…………………………………………………………………………………………………:.:……:……..::::::::::::::::::::….:.::::.::
Marco was an exceptional guide! From start to finish he took such great care of us and taught us so much during our first ever via Ferrata. Not only is Marco clearly an experienced climber/hiker but he also is a great and thoughtful guide. Throughout our 4 hours he taught us a lot about the local area and the history of the sport and he also frequently took photos of us climbing that we will always treasure! The views are also just incredible. We are not experienced hikers but found the route just the right level to us - definitely manageable with elements of rewarding challenges. It has been the highlight of our trip. Thank you so much Marco!
Andrea is a super nice guy and a great guide. His knowledge, calm demeanor and positive attitude made for a very positive experience. The Col de Bois Via Ferrata was challenging but extremely fun!!
This was an amazing experience and first-time via ferrata for us! Marco was our travel guide and he made sure that we felt comfortable. He really took his time with us and it went a long way. We were in a group of 5 and had to pay 15euro for the ski lift to get to the via ferrata. He also took photos of us, which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend!
It was a very fun experience! Our tour guide Luca was very knowledgeable about the region and the climbing.
Our instructor Max was brilliant, he gave us so a fun experience and was able to push us to the max! Highly recommend for a few incredible hours of climbing and exploring. Thanks Max
This was a perfect introduction to going on via ferrata for both of us - our guide Luca was super helpful and fun! He picked out a great route that took us through a bunch of historic trenches, and up a fun via ferrata with some mild climbing sections in the middle - a perfect day for us.
Seriously can’t recommend this tour enough as an intro to via ferrata in the Dolomites.
This was such a fun experience! It was probably my favorite thing I did in the Dolomites. Marco was a great guide as well.
This is a fun and exhilarating experience for those who have not done via Ferrata before. We really enjoyed it and felt lucky to be in a small friendly group of 5. We received excellent and easy to understand instruction on via ferrata, Marco our guide was really informative and friendly, and offered the right amount of input.
Would really recommend this experience to anybody who has not done via ferrata before.
We now feel comfortable to go off by ourselves to have a day out on via ferrata!
The guide is named Marco and helped facilitate a fun and safe first via ferrata experience! I have 10+ years of mountain climbing but was still appreciative of his orientation before we started climbing. At first we were linked together with rope and a fail-safe for the two carabiners, and then permitted to remove our attachment to the rope if comfortable.
The Via Ferrata we did was an A-C grade (easier side of scale) but plenty fun and mentally engaging for a Ferrata newbie. I would not hesitate to book with Marco again.
Marco was incredibly communicative prior to our excursion. Once we got out there he was a wealth of knowledge, took us on an amazing via ferrata. I would highly recommend him!
This was a fantastic experience and we would definitely like to go again! Our guide (Marco) was friendly, informative and had great tips for our first via ferreta throughout. We received a brilliant induction into our first via ferrata. We felt safe throughout and the challenge was perfect and appropriate for first timers without being too easy. If you are contemplating your first via ferreta, absolutely do- you will be hooked ;)
If you get to go with Marco, even better!
We had the best time and couldn’t recommend this highly enough! Thank you!
A exhilarating experience! Our guide was Marco and he was fantastic, providing clear directions and tips as we climbed. This was our first Via Ferrata and we're already planning our next. Highly recommend.
Incredible experience! Mara, our guide, was wonderful--she selected a route that was suitable to our experience level, and provided helpful information throughout the entire tour. She was incredibly competent, but also encouraging and cheerful, and went out of her way to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our entire group.
This experience was amazing, Marco is an excellent guide I will recommend everyone to do this for sure 👌🏼
What an exhilarating experience! Unfortunately it snowed very heavily during the week we were in the Dolomites (early-mid September) which seemed to even surprise the locals so we weren't able to do the Ferrata experience we were supposed to do due to safety, but our guide Alex brought us to a different mountain rifugio cinque torri up to a mountain top lodge and restaurant. We hiked most of the way but for certain sections were able to go through a tunnel inside the mountain which was built during WW1. Thankfully there was some via Ferrata paths for us to use which was really fun. I never felt unsafe and our guide Alex was extremely helpful the entire time.
My brother and I had a great experience with the via ferrata! Mara was our guide and she was very well prepared. I will be recommending this experience to any friends and family that are visiting the area. This is a unique activity that provided fantastic views over the valley.
Our guide was Enrico and he was wonderful. We have extensive hiking experience but this was our first Via Ferrata. At first we were disappointed when we saw that it was rated as “easy, but as it turns out, the one that he chose for us was challenging and perfect for our ability and lack of Via Ferrata experience. Enrico was patient and provided very good and helpful instructions. Would definitely recommend!
