Marmolada – Freeride
Wide slopes and plenty of room for your own tracks on the Marmolada.
Dolomites
The Marmolada, Queen of the Dolomites, is not only the highest summit of the range but also a brilliant mountain for freeriding – with broad slopes and plenty of room for all kinds of descent variants. The Marmolada regularly gets fresh snow, and thanks to its altitude the amounts of new snow are usually above average too. Ideal conditions, then, for laying your own tracks in deep powder on the wide glacier slopes every winter.
One definite highlight is the Marmolada Canyon, which of course we won’t skip when conditions are right. From the top station on Punta Rocca to the lowest point at Malga Ciapela, a single run gives us no less than 1,800 vertical metres of descent. Let yourself be surprised – a great freeride day in the heart of the Dolomites.

PROGRAMME
Day tour: Freeriding on the Marmolada
There are several possible starting points for a day of freeriding on the Marmolada. Depending on where you are spending your holiday, we plan the day accordingly. Thanks to the lifts of the huge Dolomiti Superski area, a freeride day on the Marmolada can also be started perfectly well from Wolkenstein, the Gadertal, Canazei or Arabba and done entirely on skis. On the way there and back, we can already take in a few smaller off-piste variants here and there.
From Malga Ciapela, a total of three cable cars take us up a good 1,800 vertical metres. Naturally, we won’t miss a visit to the viewing platform, with its spectacular view straight down the Marmolada south face, before we set off on our freeride descent. There are several options, but when conditions are right, a detour to the somewhat hidden Marmolada Canyon, which adds a very special highlight to this descent, is simply a must.
Look forward to a varied day of freeriding on the Marmolada. It sometimes takes a little patience queueing for the cable car, but in return this tour scores with great descents and scenery you won’t forget in a hurry. And who can blame all the other people for wanting to experience the view from Punta Rocca too?
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Who is the freeride day on the Marmolada suitable for?
The tour is suitable for good skiers who also feel comfortable off-piste and are keen on long descents in open terrain. Experience in deep powder is important so that we can make the most of the options on the Marmolada.
What do I need for the tour?
Above all, you need your freeride skis and suitable clothing for a long day in winter terrain. You will receive the detailed packing list with your confirmation email. Any missing equipment can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
Do we always ski through the Marmolada Canyon?
Only if conditions are right. The Marmolada Canyon is a special highlight, but we decide on site, depending on snow, visibility and terrain, which variant on the Marmolada is best on the day.
