Off-piste skiing in Marmolada

The Marmolada, along with the Sella (Sas Pordoi), is undoubtedly the top freeride destination in the Dolomites. It provides a wide range of routes, from the simplest to the most challenging. The broad ski runs are great for skiing, and the slopes facing north typically ensure fantastic powdery snow.

A day spent skiing on the soft snow of the Marmolada, one of the best freeride spot in the Dolomites.
The Marmolada has lots of off-piste skiing descent suitable for beginners and experts alike. You can test your limits on the more challenging slopes, or try off-piste skiing for the first time. Some skiing routes that can be accessed by using the Malga Ciapela – Punta Rocca cable car are Bellunese, vecchia pista, Intra i sass destra e sinistra, and Lydia. They frequently provide enjoyable skiing on stunning powder snow. The wide wild slops are ideal for skiing and present remarkable experiences every time.
The Marmolada canyon descent is a must-try, with two extremely slim rock walls in a truly exceptional and amazing setting where skis can barely fit. ATTENTION: not to be missed!
For those who enjoy skiing on a sunny side, Padon’s slopes provide numerous downhill routes with an impressive view of the neighbouring peaks. For those who prefer taking sharp turns, there are many options available in the forests above Arabba village.
Why wait to book your snowy adventure on Marmolada?

What you need to know:
  • The minimum age should not be seen as a rigid parameter, but rather as a rough indication that will obviously depend on the technical skills, experience and level of training of the participants. If you feel that you or a member of your group would be able to take part in the excursion if your age were lower, please contact me directly at info@giovanni-orlando.it or call +39 328 83 15 601. In this case it is compulsory to contact the guide before registering for the activity.
  • The maximum number of persons indicated must be intended for a single guide. In the case of larger groups, one or more mountain guides will be used, in accordance with the maximum ratio indicated on the activity sheet. In this case, please send an e-mail to info@giovanni-orlando.it or call +39 328 83 15 601.
  • It is imperative that participants follow the instructions of the mountain guide before and during the activities and respect any changes to the chosen programme in order to ensure their safety.
  • Fees for facilities, transfers and accommodation are subject to change at the discretion of the operator (external to my company) and are not included in the price of the activity unless otherwise stated.
  • The fares shown in the ‘The fare does not include’ section are indicative and may vary.
  • For all itineraries and activities, the guide reserves the right to make changes according to conditions (weather, accessibility, refuges) and the physical condition of the participants.
  • The times indicated for carrying out the activities are subject to variations due to weather conditions and the physical state of the area (snowfall, terrain conditions, etc.) and necessarily depend on the opening and closing dates of the ski lifts, which are set seasonally/annually by the ski lift operators and are therefore in no way attributable to the mountain guide.
  • Minors under the age of 18, if unaccompanied, require a parental or guardian waiver to be given to the guide prior to the excursion.
