ABOUT THE TOUR
Wide slopes and plenty of room to lay down your own lines on Marmolada – a perfect freeride day in the Dolomites.
Dolomites
The Marmolada, the Queen of the Dolomites, is not only the highest peak in the range, but also a brilliant mountain for freeriding – with broad slopes and plenty of space for a wide variety of descent options. Marmolada is regularly blessed with fresh snowfall, and thanks to its altitude, new snow totals are generally above average as well. In other words: ideal conditions every winter for drawing your own tracks through the powder on the glacier terrain.
One definite highlight is the Marmolada Canyon, which of course we won’t miss when conditions are right. From the top lift station on the summit down to the lowest point at Malga Ciapela, there are no less than 1,800 vertical metres of descent ahead of us in a single run. Let it surprise you – a seriously strong freeride day in the heart of the Dolomites.

PROGRAM
Day tour: Freeriding on Marmolada
There are several possible starting points for a day of freeriding on Marmolada. Depending on where you are spending your holiday, we will plan the day accordingly. With the help of the ski lifts in the vast Dolomiti Superski area, a freeride day on Marmolada can also be started perfectly from Wolkenstein, Gadertal, Canazei or Arabba, and completed entirely on skis. On the way there and back, we can often pick up a few smaller off-piste variants as well.
From Malga Ciapela, three cable cars take us up around 1,800 vertical metres. Naturally, we won’t miss a visit to the viewing platform, with its spectacular view straight down over the south face of Marmolada, before setting off on our freeride descent. There are several options, but a detour into the Marmolada Canyon, which is a little hidden away and provides a very special highlight on this descent, is simply part of the day when conditions allow.
Look forward to a varied day of freeriding on Marmolada. It sometimes takes a little patience when queueing for the cable car, but in return this tour delivers superb descents and scenery you won’t forget in a hurry. And who could blame the many other visitors for wanting to experience the view from the highest point in the Dolomites as well?
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - (FAQs)
Who is the freeride day on Marmolada suitable for?
The tour is suitable for strong skiers who are comfortable off-piste and keen on long descents in open terrain. Experience in powder snow is important so that we can make the most of the options on Marmolada.
What do I need for the tour?
Above all, you need your freeride skis plus suitable clothing for a long day in winter mountain terrain. You will receive the exact packing list with the confirmation email. 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 Marmolada is best for that day.
