What do we do?

Each experience is designed to reconnect with nature and make new friends. Here's what we'll do in this one:

  • ⛰️ 3 days guided tour in the Marmarole

    We will embark on a wild adventure among the imposing Marmarole, one of the most remote and authentic corners of the Dolomites. Accompanied by Claudio - Aspiring Alpine Guide, we will travel the historic Strada San Marchi, an ancient path that crosses rugged and silent landscapes, between vertical walls and hidden valleys. Each step will bring us closer to the purest essence of the mountain, far from the crowds and immersed in an uncontaminated environment. It will be a journey of discovery, of deep connection with nature and of precious learning, guided by the passion of those who know these lands as their home.

  • ⛺️ 2 nights bivouac in the Dolomites

    We will experience the most authentic essence of the Dolomites, sleeping under the stars in the suggestive Bivacco Tiziano and Bivacco Voltolina. Far from any comfort, we will immerse ourselves completely in the wild nature, surrounded only by the silence of the peaks and the breath of the wind. We will walk between panoramic ridges and solitary woods, sharing stories under an infinite sky. It will be an essential and profound experience, where we will rediscover the value of simplicity and the primordial bond with the mountain.

  • 🎒 Masterclass: safety, flora, fauna and geology of the Dolomites

    In these three days we will have the unique opportunity to learn from Claudio's expert hands, how to move safely in one of the wildest environments of the Dolomites. We will cross remote paths, learning the techniques to tackle rough terrain and read the landscape. Claudio will guide us to discover the alpine flora, he will teach us to recognize the traces of the local fauna and he will reveal the geological secrets of these ancient rocks. A journey that will enrich not only our mountain experience, but also our deep awareness of this unique environment.

Discover the program.

Day 1

At dawn we meet in Praciadelan, immersed in the silence of the Val d'Oten. After a technical-logistical briefing, we set off towards the Rifugio Chiggiato, where the panorama of the Dolomites begins to reveal itself in all its majesty. We cross the Forcella Jau de la Tana and, among wild landscapes and profound silence, we reach the Bivacco Tiziano, an eagle's nest set in the rock. Here, surrounded only by nature, we enjoy the magic of the most authentic mountain.

Day 2

The second stage takes us to the heart of the Strada San Marchi, one of the most evocative and challenging sections of our journey. The route winds between crests and vertical walls, passing by the solitary Bivacco Musatti and the imposing Campanile di San Marco, silent guardian of the valley. The journey requires concentration and determination, but the beauty of the landscape repays every effort. After an intense and adventurous day, we arrive at the Bivacco Voltolina, where the sunset over the Dolomite peaks gives us an emotion difficult to describe.

Day 3

The last day begins with a spectacular stretch on the Cengia del Doige, a suspended path with incredible views. From here we reach Forcella Grande and then down to the Rifugio San Marco, where we take a break with our gaze turned towards the peaks that have accompanied us on this adventure. Crossing rocky slopes and clearings, we climb up to the Rifugio Galassi, the last stop before closing our loop at Praciadelan. Tired but happy, with our hearts full of images and emotions, we say goodbye to these mountains that have put us to the test and welcomed us with their wild beauty.
