Exclusive via ferrata adventure in one of the most spectacular places on earth, the Dolomites, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, created especially for you!
Step into the vertical world of the Dolomites and join a fun, supportive group of adventurous souls for a week of thrilling via ferratas, breathtaking ridgelines, and unforgettable mountain moments.
In collaboration with Dolomite Treks, the local company run by International Professional Guide Anna Vecellio, I’ve curated the most incredible, exciting, and empowering itinerary for 12 like-minded adventure lovers who want to experience the Dolomites in a truly unique way: climbing its iconic routes and witnessing its beauty from above.
It was important to me to partner with a local agency to offer an authentic experience and to support guides who genuinely love not only their work but the land they walk and climb on. After much research, I couldn’t be happier to have found Anna. Her passion, expertise, and deep connection to the Dolomites bring this adventure to life.

Ila organised the most fabulous authentic experience - everything was customised and well thought through. The variety of hikes and experiences we had and the personalities of her and her counterpart Anna made the experience one to remember and I would definitely go on another week long trip! The food at the mountain huts they individually selected each day was very high which made the long hikes even more fun.
