This awesome ski mountaineering run is very diverse, providing long downhill runs first to the North, then to the South, and a short climb up to Forcella Marmolada. The splendid itinerary is enhanced by a via ferrata section, adding a technical element to the majestic environment that surrounds it, a typical aspect of the Dolomites.
The ski mountaineering excursion in Marmolada, up to Forcella Marmolada, starts from the top of Punta Rocca (3250 meters) which can be reached by modern cable car running from Malga Ciapela. We begin skiing right away on the north side of the glacier along beautiful slopes down to Pian dei Fiacconi. There we start climbing on seal skins. This climbing section is very gentle and not very steep up to the pass, which is then tackled using crampons. Once we reach the pass, we climb down the opposite side, facing south, along the vertical via ferrata section, reaching over beautiful slopes until we arrive at the Malga di Contrin. After we get to the malga we continue along the valley on a snowy trail reaching the ski runs leading to the town of Alba di Canazei. We go up to the Fedaia Pass by taxi and we return on skis to the parking lot on a groomed trail.
The ski mountaineering excursion in Marmolada to Forcella Marmolada features a 500 meters elevation gain and a 2500 meters elevation loss. It requires good training and ski mountaineering technical skills and is rated BSA (Good Ski Mountaineer). Maximum incline is 40 degrees.
