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.

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.

This was such a fun experience! It was probably my favorite thing I did in the Dolomites. Marco was a great guide as well.
Amy_C, Aug 2025
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.
Amar_J, Jun 2025
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.
Joshua_B, Sep 2024
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.
Mike_S, Sep 2024
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!
Dani_G, Sep 2024
Mara was an incredible guide! We were beginners and she took us on a C graded via Ferrata. We felt safe and secure the entire trip. The terrain was fun and challenging at times! This was definitely the highlight of our time in the Dolomites.
Delphena_H, Sep 2024
Had a wonderful via Ferrata experience with our guide Armin. He was an awesome guide and we would highly recommend booking a trip!

A brilliant day all round trying a via ferrata for the first time. The location and scenery were amazing. The guide Robert was excellent and made the whole experience better. He was friendly and very knowledgeable, he gave us a great introduction into via ferrating as well a load of local tips and advice. Will definitely come back for more
Fardau_W, Jul 2024
Amazing experience! The beginning was a bit steep, but thanks to Marco we never felt unsafe. A great experience to get acquainted with Via Ferrata and gain confidence to do this on your own.
Alex_C, Jul 2024
We had a great trip with a small group of four and our tour guide Marco who was lovely and really friendly he made it an amazing experience! We are an English couple with no Via Ferrata experience prior, would 100% recommend and would love to do again!
Naomi_H, Jun 2024
This was such a fun experience! Alex was a great guide and we loved every minute of it! He was even so kind and picked us up in Cortina because I couldn't find a taxi. He is very nice and explains everything as you go. The spot where we went was so pretty and we all seem to really enjoy it.
Daniel_K, Jun 2024
Mara was amazing. Made us all feel totally safe and the Ra Bujela via ferrata was so much fun.
Would highly recommend Mara and this experience to anyone

Just do it! We have no climbing experience but Marco made us feel very safe the whole time. If you’re in decent shape and aren’t afraid of heights, you’ll be fine & have so much fun. Bring hiking or climbing shoes (not running shoes). If you don’t want to pack them, you can rent some from Ski Service in Cortina.
Marco knows many routes in the area and will take you wherever is most appropriate for your skill level. He contacted me as soon as I booked to ask about it skill level. You can do a private group or with other people. We were with one other couple & it was so much fun.
You are hooked onto the iron cables & then Marco also has a line connected to you. So if you fall (which, no one has, as of the date we went), you will be caught by his rope first. If for some reason that failed you would also be caught by your own tie-ins to the iron cables.
Marco provided us hiking poles for the way down because it was still covered in snow. We would 100% do this again if we’re ever back in the area.

The scenery during the activity is very beautiful. Alex is a very professional guide with detailed explanations and is very friendly. Although rock climbing made me a little nervous, I had a great time
Laura_L, Aug 2023
Experienced guide gave us a great via ferrata experience. Shared lots of information about the mountains -- both the history and geology which was awesome.
Barr_H, Aug 2023
First time doing a Via Ferreta. Alex, our guide, was a super friendly guy with a lot of possitive energies. He took care of us and let us know what's going on on every step of they way.
The first few meters are the hardest, and we were scared it would continue this way all the way, but the difficulty of it changes during the climb and it makes it very manageble. It was an absolutly breath taking experience, the feeling if being so high on the edge of a cliff, but still having this safety net.
10/10
Rose_M, Aug 2023
Marco was a fantastic guide. He was very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome and safe. The experience was very fun, and he gave us lots of great tips. I would absolutely recommend this trip!
Katherine_W, Aug 2023
This tour with Marco was so much fun! The views were amazing and Marco was a great teacher and fun to chat with. Can’t wait to go again.
Andrew_M, Jul 2023
Marco was fantastic. Catered the experience to our skill level. Strongly recommend this experience if you enjoy hiking/climbing.
