SUMMER

From June to September takes place a great alpine summer. There’s a high season in July and August; the prices of accommodations are higher and the weather mostly changeable. If you can choose the period it’s better to come in June or September when the weather is settled, there is less people and the prices are lower.
Look at our proposals for that period but don’t forget to ask us per mail a programme adapted to your needs. We’ll answer very soon!

(DFT) Dolomites Via Ferrata Tours (from 1 to 9 days hut to hut)

First time the Dolomites mountains are a very complicated territory, same a mountains labyrinth where’s difficult understand all via ferrata possibilities. For this reason I propose you some versions about the same area (from sigle day to 9 hut to hut days). Crossing the central mountain groups of the Dolomites you’ll be totally surrounded by unforgettable views and live every day in touch with perfectly vertical, great rock masses, with exceptionally varied shapes. Read these single and multidays versions and write me what you prefer about your first time Dolomites via Ferrata experience. REMEMBER: I'm a professional mountain guide specialized to prepare personal programs for every client. This is my work philosophy!
