This website was born from a lifetime of experience in the mountains. My name is Enrico Maioni, I’ve been a mountain guide since 1984, and I’ve always lived in Cortina d’Ampezzo, a beautiful town nestled among the Dolomite peaks. My passion for the mountains and my professional work have led me to know every corner of these landscapes. My philosophy as a mountain guide goes beyond simply accompanying people: I also want to share values, knowledge, and a deep focus on safety. That’s why this website isn’t just a showcase — it’s a resource for those who love the mountains with respect and awareness.
Why I share what I know about the Dolomites
I firmly believe that accurate information is essential in every field, and especially when it comes to mountain safety. On my site, I share articles, insights, and tips based on real-world experience, not on theories read elsewhere.
Every piece of content comes from routes I’ve personally climbed, accidents I’ve witnessed or managed, and clients I’ve guided over the years.
My philosophy as a mountain guide is built on three pillars: experience, responsibility, and simplicity. I believe that anyone who hires a guide should find not just a skilled professional, but someone who knows how to listen, observe, and adapt. Likewise, readers of my articles should expect content that is clear, accessible, and honest.
I write independently and with complete freedom: I don’t receive payment for my content or publish sponsored material. Every recommendation or opinion I share reflects only my experience and view of the mountains. I never publish information I haven’t verified or from generic sources.
Safety is always at the core of my message. Whether via ferrata, a snowshoe hike, or a climbing route, I aim to help readers make informed decisions and understand the risks, without ever downplaying them. That’s what responsibility in communication means to me.
Finally, I want to clarify that this website is neither a personal blog nor a commercial project. It is a service-oriented space created for those who wish to approach the mountains for the first time, as well as for experienced hikers and climbers seeking reliable content written by someone who lives and breathes the mountains every day.
