Overnight in the Most Secluded Hut of Dolomites | MARMOLADA

Download the GPX track: bit.ly/MarmoladaCrestaOvest
Hey! Welcome to a new adventure!
In this video, I'm reaching the top of Marmolada, the queen of Dolomites (highest mountain of Dolomites - 3343m)
With the first little snowfall of the year, the track was a little bit more complicated than usual, and I had to climb the via ferrata slower than I expected.
But the hospitality of Carlo Budel at Capanna Punta Penia was amazing. The view of Dolomites from up there is extraordinary.
Dedicated to the victims of Marmolada glacier collapse in July 2022. Rest in Peace.

My father climbed the Marmolada when he was only nine years old. Together with his two years older brother, his father and mother. They had booked an Italian mountain guide for this trip, but he doubted whether it was a good idea to take such young children up. My grandfather explained it a bit and said: “They can climb well, my boys already have a lot of experience with hiking in the mountains despite their age”. The guide hesitated but turned a blind eye. On the way they had to cross a large ice bridge on the glacier. My grandfather asked the guide how strong it was, the guide replied: "I expect that this bridge will not be there next week or the week after". So they walked over the bridge, my grandfather was the back of the rope group and behind him the ice bridge collapses. All in all it was the best climb my father has made.

[@dirtdealer6813]

Awesome story!!

[@FUToob]

Remarkable.

[@felixcsgocs2]

So he died?

[@brianb532]

He said behind him the bridge collapsed. Because he was the end rope guy he was the last to cross. 👍

[@bergwolf7514]

A video like this, in times like these, is balm for the soul. Thank you Bruno, for your great art, your great ideas and your positive energy. After your videos you always feel better. Un abbraccio!

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

thank you SO MUCH!

[@davidschofieldinsf]

There's no way I could attempt such a hike myself, since I am a senior. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@Pauletta.d]

Never stop dream:)

[@YuKonSama]

Dolomites is still one of my favorite places on this planet. The peaks are just so unique. Last time I was there, Marmolad sadly already hat to much snow and ice but I did multiple tours on the sub-3000 peaks arround it and its always an iconic landmark.

[@robertomeneghetti6215]

And fantastic colors, mainly towards evening!

[@georgesheffield1580]

Mine to and the valleys are also wonderful

[@BashirAbuShakra]

Nice video and efforts! Brought to me some memories when I climbed Marmolada 3 years ago and had the honor to stay the night with the Austrian mountaineer Hansjörg Auer, who sadly died only months after with David Lama and Jess Roskelley on the descent after reaching the summit of Howse Peak in Banff National Park of the Canadian Rockiesq, three of the best Alpinists in the world. R.I.P to them and also those who died in Marmolada

[@danielesavi1969]

You also do amazing works, man.

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

That’s sad

[@siriosstar4789]

" on top " is an understatement . one wrong step in any direction and finito . what a spectacular place!

[@simonetgl]

Salirei su solo per le torte di Carlo!!!! Grande Bruno, continua a farci sognare con questi straordinari video, grazie.

[@smokeylovesfire1589]

Absolutely gorgeous country. Those views along with the perfect music was epic. Thank you for sharing this to us.

[@user-xr3sn7yn5i]

Отличный фильм,а за ночное небо отдельное спасибо!!!

[@Metalvox88]

I just have to say… As someone who has fought his own mental health and thoughts for years, your videos bring me peace. Normally seeing the top of a mountain immediately makes me want to make the leap, but your videos not only show the top of the mountains but also calm me down and make realize there are other reasons for being all the way up there… Thank you

[@ClaudioKrott]

Man, i love your music choice, editing and your capturing of the amazing landscape and your adventures! Keep up the good work und stay safe :)

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

thanksss!!

[@bongdonkey]

@@BrunoPisaniAdventure Grazie pi lu video, Saluta!

[@markphilpottultra]

Bruno.....I am not a mountaineer but your video was amazingly good, well done and thank you for the hard work to show us the beautiful roof of Italy from Marmoloda.

[@davinci234]

THE MOST UNDERRATED VELLOGER.........AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL...THANK YOU BRUNO

[@GenX_outdoors]

Love this video and can’t wait to watch more. New subscriber from the US. We spent our honeymoon in the Dolomites, as well as our 1-year, 5-year and 10-year anniversaries! Time to start planning our next anniversary trip for 2024.

[@DavideMenonchannel]

Le riprese dal drone al Tramonto mentre eri quasi arrivato pazzesche !❤

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

grazieee!!!

[@diegomorsy4529]

Questo è il video più bello che hai fatto e Carlo è una persona fantastica

[@motorbikingaustria2439]

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Dolomites-Videos I have ever seen!🏆 ... Congratulations!👍 ... Cheers from Austria!🍺🍺

[@FrancescoSerena]

Mitico Carlo ❤️ Guardiano delle Dolomiti

[@kingofrelax1113]

Melts all our thoughts. Brings focus. Very soothing.

[@ecalzo]

I was there before the fall of the top of the mountain.. a true beauty..

[@lucahdd]

Sei una enorme fonte di ispirazione Bruno! I tuoi video sono fantastici e ogni volta mi lasciano una carica incredibile! Grazie mille!

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

mi fa moltissimo piacere! ciao!

[@hikingwithmydrone]

Che vista da lassù!! Carlo Budel una leggenda!! Video spettacolare complimenti!! Mandi e alla prossima!

[@marja1112]

Grazie mille 🙏❤, Bruno. My favorite pistes and the Sella Ronde tour (with skies 🤩). Buono food and super friendly people. We stayed 5-6 times in this amazing area. Greatings from The Netherlands 🤩🇳🇱🚜🚜🚜

[@JohnRome-xn7hx]

This is one of the most beautiful video I've ever seen! Well done 👍 👏

[@pietrocasu3330]

Grande Bruno! Gli ultimi video sono veramente spettacolari. Continua così 🏔

[@macroi188]

Un altro fantastico video per abbracciare la regina delle dolomiti. La ferrata che porta in cima (che io ho fatto d'estate in gioventù), con quelle condizioni di freddo, neve e ghiaccio e nell'orario in cui l'hai affrontata ha richiesto un notevole coraggio e una grande concentrazione, ma poi l'accoglienza al caldo dell capanna Punta Penia è stato il giusto premio per questa nuova straordinaria impresa solitaria. Le immagini delle Dolomiti si commentano da sole, ma quella notturna con la Via Lattea è da togliere il respiro! Complimenti e ad maiora.

[@claravonessen5673]

It's nice to see how I have learned about the mountain names. Now, every-time I visit the Dolomites (almost every year) I know how my favorite peaks are called, and that is all thanks to you, Bruno. Loved also to know Carlo, he seems to be a very wise man :)

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

he is! thanks Clara!

[@robertomeneghetti6215]

After learning their names... you will climb on them!

[@germaury9766]

Grazie per questo spettacolo bellissimo video emozioni in alta quota 🙏🏻✈️🏔️💪

[@kristapple]

What a fantastic video Bruno ❤ not just your climbing and video skills but also your choice of music was beautiful too 😃

[@petatrethewy2695]

Beautiful as always. Thank you Bruno for letting me watch you doing all the work from the comfort of my sitting room!

[@bd8762]

semplicemente meraviglioso!! ...anche per chi è già salito in vetta! Penso che vedute così, in giornate così, ben pochi abbiano avuto la fortuna di ammirare. Grazie!

[@samuelenteri2867]

Watching this kind of video makes me feel calm n positive thinking..

[@TheMountainRambler]

Gran bel video, la vista da lassù non ha pari. Ho avuto la fortuna di salire dal ghiacciaio due anni fa a giugno, arrivavamo da un inverno normale e abbiamo fatto quasi tutta la salita con i ramponi. Una delle ascese più belle che abbia mai fatto e poi le torte di Carlo sono speciali! Un saluto.

[@stefanobataloni]

Credo sia il tuo video più bello. Complimenti e grazie.

[@louiscaeiroramos8051]

My wife and I climbed to Punta Penia straight up from the kabel lift station facing the Glacier and the Lake. Not the Via Ferrata you took on the West side of the mountain. First in 2001 on 9/11! We made it up the Glacier and climbed the unsecured rock section, but on top we had to give because our cheap crampons were no good. They were only attached to the heel and did not provide enough grip on the steep snow on the way to the top. In 2003 again in September but with better crampons we made it all the way to the top. In the last 20 minutes we were surprised by a thunder storm and found the shelter closed. We found the door from a small storage room open and sheltered there. After 10 minutes other people arrived. They came from the Via Ferrata you took on the film. A party of 3 and another of 5. One of the guys found another door to a bigger room with beds, mattresses and blankets. This was not the restaurant are. After a little more than an hour the party of 3, the Austrians, decided to go down, even if the storm was still raging but the thunders had passed. We decided to wait with the Czech party of 5, to see if the weather would further improve. It was around 4 PM and the lift would close at 7. We wanted to avoid descending another 700 meters to the lake, at least a 2 hours trip. So our dead line to leave the cabin would be 5-5.15 PM. I went outside to check the conditions but non of us felt comfortabel to take the steep snowy descend with the heavy wind, so we had to spend the night there. In the cabin during the night it was only 2 degrees C above zero. We didn't plan to stay. We expected to need about 2,5 hours up. 30 minutes on top and another 90 minutes for the descend. We were short on food and had left our coats in the car trunk at the lake. The issue is that in the morning the sun was shinning full on the Glacier climb. The first time we climbed the glacier and the rock section 2 years earlier, I was the only one wearing my ski jacket but it was so hot, so this time we both decided to leave them behind. In the middle of the night me and my wife went out for a pee and the wind almost blew us once we stepped beside the cabin. The following morning at 9.30h 2 elderly experienced guides from a Czech party came to rescue the other 5. My wife and I used 2 big plastic bags for additional wind protection. One of the Czech women gave my wife a thin pair of wool gloves, for she had non. I had my bicycle gloves I use for climbing. We tied ourselves to ropes and the 9 of us went down against the still heavy wind. In 90 minutes we were at the chair lift to the lake. We had breakfast and were so tired that once we reached our car at the lake we decided to drive in the direction of home, skipping our last day, the Friday. At 4 PM we stopped at a hotel in Fussen Germany. We went straight to bed and slept til dinner. In 2005 we went back with our 13 year old son. This time in June. We climbed the Glacier but my son didn't dare to climb the rock section. In those days, still an unsecured climb. My wife and he went back to the lift station while I made it to the top. It was June and there were plenty of people that day. Finally I could enjoy the views. The Sella in particular (Piz Boe). Note, in those years there was far more snow and ice on the Glacier. The Glacial climb to the top was the most popular of the 2 trails up to Punta Penia.

[@MrKevreg]

Mission accomplished!!! You made it to the top of the 🌎

[@oanapao6055]

My anxiety level at the highest peak watching him (Carlo) casually talking at the edge of the cliff, with the back at that big gap, with ice under his feet

[@lachlankeevers270]

Why though? It’s a KZbin video so obviously he’s gonna be fine

[@maurobenvenuti725]

Che spettacolo la parete della Marmolada al tramonto e la stellata da lasciare senza fiato... Grazie Bruno!

[@giorgiobiggiogero6136]

Grazie Bruno, ci hai portato su con te un altea volta !

[@thetrailfix]

Can't wait to make it to the Dolomites, your videos are fantastic, and really highlight some great routes, thank you. I spend a good bit of time in the Eastern Sierra Nevada in California and in the deserts of Southern California which are both beautiful, but I do quite a bit of daydreaming for some new great places, and this is something special. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Many thanks! wanna come explore US too :)

[@demis9120]

The best view in dolomites. I've been at the end of August 2022 and was an unforgettable hiking day. Your editing is awesome, great video making in wonderful mountains and great hiking

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

Thanks a ton!

[@orifld]

Always a pleasure to see your videos. Thank you

[@ahbd1212]

Thank you very much Bruno! You brightened my afternoon in Santiago with a strong summer sun. You don't know how much I enjoyed the panoramic shots from the top of the queen. In addition to a precious video, it is more than valuable cartographic material. Thanks again and keep sharing your experiences in the Dolomites!

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

thank you so much!!! Winter is coming here!

Semplicemente fantastico. Grazie mille Bruno. Danke 🙂

[@rororo211]

Hello Bruno! You're so positive! I reached Marmolada in 2011 so I watched the video with great pleasure, beautiful landscapes. So long time ago... hope to visit Italy once more someday. Greetings from Poland! ps. I'm keep telling to everyone here in my country that there are different kind of mountains, there are high mountains but the most beautiful, charming are Dolomites! The same as whole Italy. This truth is deep in my soul...

[@Caddl123]

Im very late but you could have met these guys: Real Adventure Look for their CVideo from Marmolada: It was in 2010. But later they were around in that area.

[@robertomeneghetti6215]

Thanks for these compliments, Italy and its mountains will welcome you! Take care of the Alps too!

[@davemitchell8756]

Simply stunning Bruno, the beauty of that place captured perfectly - thank you 👍👏👏👏👏

Thanks for another wonderful video. Like the drone photography which adds so much. Keep making more please!

[@finlaymacdonald6330]

After a school trip in 1990 to the Dolomites it has been lovely to watch these videos. We hiked Sella Ronda, Piz Boe, Piscadu. We also slept a night at the base of Marmolada Glacier on the Ice (in tents -illegal now!). Thank you for these videos. Bravo!

Just wonderful!

[@mwest3583]

I did an 11-day gravel bike ride through the mountains and valleys directly north of Marmolada. They were some of the most memorable days of my life. Day 9 took me through the valley on the north side of this mountain, spent the night in Sottoguda. This video is magical to watch for me.

e pure le Cime... ti sei ricordato . GRANDE !!!!

[@steveeb9567]

Tremendous effort, thanks for taking us along Bruno !

[@ayongkot]

the videos you posted are stunningly beautiful. you deserves to have more subscribers than you had already. i can't imagine the sacrifice you went just to reach those peaks and capture those footage. i love the mountains and wish i could scale those, but i guess I'm too old to do that. I'll just keep on watching your channel. keep safe.

[@BrunoPisaniAdventure]

thank you!!! subs will come :)

[@kiereluurs1243]

Hilarious to put a cabin right on top. Quite a trip to get there. Nice via ferrate. Later on I noticed there is also a route over a glacier, interesting for skiing or plain alpinism. Bizarre mountain. The south face looks hard to climb. I'll keep this in mind.

[@grahamrowe6278]

The season's not over till the touring skis come out! Nice one Bruno ...and a fine touch to celebrate those whose luck ran short in their search to explore the joy of this place.

[@wollyhotdog]

Great Video Bruno! Looking fwd for more to come.Happy travels!

[@BelloBudo007]

Many thanks Bruno and KZbin from Australia. Not Austria but Australia like koala, kangaroo and warm places. Your video allowed me to at least experience a tiny bit what it is like up in the beautiful Dolomites. Stunning! Again thank you.

[@mhaas17]

Magnificent video. Feeling happy with you and being grateful for you sharing these incredible insights! Forza, Bruno!

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

I watch all your film's Bruno. Loved this. Your summit night stays are always my fav, in hut or tent. Always wish I was there. Keep it up. 👍

[@sonora108]

Absolutely magnificent, I love the views when you are up that high.

[@SWExplore]

Hi Bruno! I found your channel while surfing around KZbin and I'm so glad I did. Your adventures, in this case, to Marmolada was absolutely amazing. I could never undertake such an adventure on my own, so I'll do it vicariously through you. Thanks for putting this video together where you had me sitting on the edge of my seat as you ascended to the summit!

[@scottishclimber7630]

Another beautifully filmed alpine adventure Bruno. 👍 Great to see this stunning part of the Dolomites again. I climbed Sassongher, Saas Rigias, Piz Boe and Grand Cir back in '96. The clear views from the summit of the Marmolada were awesome in your film! ATB Derek
