…discovering the Dolomites with a local guide
If you want to experience the high mountains and the thrill of a Dolomites “via ferrata” we suggest you to contact one of the alpine guides operating in Alta Badia. The alpine guide is an expert in all questions of mountaineering and alpinism and above all he is an expert in safety and fun in the mountains.
The alpine guide / alpines skier is the only professional figure capable of accompanying people and teaching them about climbing on the high mountain terrain, or on the icy or rocky ground about alpine skiing. The training of the alpine guide skier and the carrying out of this profession is defined by law and the title is recognised internationally by all the nations that participate in the UIAGM (International Union of Mountain Guides). The attainment of the title of alpine guide skier is achieved by attending the appropriate courses, with the final examinations being very selective and only those extremely well prepared being likely to pass.
