Via ferrata

From €380 to €500, depending on the difficulty and length of the via ferrata, as well as the number of clients.
For safety reasons, the maximum number of people per guide varies according to the type of via ferrata:
• Medium or difficult via ferratas: maximum 3–4 people per guide. In these cases participants, in addition to being secured to the steel cable with their own equipment, are also roped to the guide.
• Very easy via ferratas: maximum 5–6 people per guide. Participants move independently while attached to the cable; the guide provides assistance and ropes up only children or anyone needing extra support.

Note: The total fee is divided among the participants. Technical equipment, including a harness, helmet, and via ferrata set, is included. If a chairlift or cable car is required, the ticket is not included.

Multi-pitch climbing in the Dolomites

The minimum daily rate for a climb in the mountains is €380. Prices are predetermined and refer to specific routes, varying according to their length, level of commitment, and difficulty.

A note about pricing

With the exception of indoor climbing lessons, which are charged by the hour, the price does not depend on the actual time required to complete the activity.

The duration of a hike, a via ferrata, or a climbing route can vary considerably depending on mountain conditions, weather, and the participants’ experience. The same itinerary may take significantly different amounts of time from one person to another.

For this reason, the price refers to the activity as a whole and to the professional service provided by the mountain guide, rather than to the number of hours needed to complete it.

Free isn’t always good… Why should you pay for a mountain guide?

Reservations and deposit

Reservations require a 30% deposit of the total amount due, and are valid for a specific date.
The booking is considered confirmed only once the requested deposit has been received. Our competitive rates ensure great value.

Refund policy

If weather conditions make the activity impossible, your deposit will be refunded.

Cancellation at least 40 days before the scheduled date – full refund (minus a 10% administrative fee).
Cancellation within 8 days of the scheduled date – 50% refund (minus a 10% administrative fee).
No refund will be given for cancellations made less than 5 working days before the scheduled date.

Please read the full Refund and Cancellation Policy carefully.

Balance

The remaining balance must be paid on the morning of the activity, before departure. Updated rates might apply if arrangements change.

Note: Clients who decide not to continue hikes, climbs, ski tours, etc., are still required to pay the full agreed amount based on agreed rates.

Insurance and liability

All rates include third-party liability insurance and coverage for emergency and rescue transportation, including helicopter evacuation.
However, it is strongly recommended that you take out personal travel and health insurance to cover unforeseen events.
If you choose not to do so, you accept full responsibility for any medical or other expenses that may arise.

Mountain activities inherently involve risk. Even under the guidance of a qualified Mountain Guide, professionally trained to ensure the highest possible safety, a certain level of risk remains.
By signing up for any activity, you acknowledge and accept this risk, and waive any claim for compensation or damages against your guide or Guide Dolomiti.
