Ski Area Marmolada

In Summer in Marmolada

Organising an excursion on Marmolada is not just a dream for all excursionists; it is also a much-sought-after destination because it means achieving an important goal. In fact, the climb up to the Queen of the Dolomites involves a degree of difficulty that goes beyond simple excursions – not so much because of the elevation, but due to the technical difficulties involved. As well as the fixed rope routes, the greatest dangers lie with the glacier’s ice ridges. Therefore, a great deal of experience, caution and - if possible - the presence of an Alpine guide are needed. Moreover, this excursion is not for anyone on their own and must always be done roped together and using the necessary equipment, such as crampons and ice picks. However, without going into too much detail, reaching Punta Penia, or in other words, the summit, does not just make up for the exertion of the high elevation, the panorama from up there is enough to repay any sacrifice.

Countless other routes start out from Marmolada and those looking for more information about all possible excursions can consult the summer pages about excursions in the Fassa Valley on our web site www.dolomitinetwork.com.
