Hi! I'm from Mexico and I'm interested in going. Do you know of any agencies I can talk to about organizing a trip to that route in the Dolomites? Thanks

[@m.hoffman2889]

@@villagomezc I think its easier to do it by yourself. Hiring a mountain guide is pretty expensive and I really would only hiring one if you have never done a via ferrata trail before and are unfamiliar with the harness

[@luckyyang9622]

Thank you for showcasing all of these different ferratas in one video. A trip like this is the best way to maximize cost and value!

[@Saluno375]

What a crazy beautiful area. Definitely going to visit one day and do some vias! Awesome video.

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you!

Wow , I’m 28 and from a council estate in England , my girlfriend has opened my eyes to see the true beauty of the world . I cannot wait to suprise her with a trip here next year . Absolutely amazing x

Great capture...planning my first trip in Dec

Amazing journey. Beautifull views.

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you! really appreciate that you liked it!

[@chloekendall1976]

Great video. I just learned about the Via Ferrata from a relative and hope I can make it over there someday. Also curious where you are 01:22 in the intro, where you are jumping off some lovely cliffs into water? Looks lovely! Is there a video about that adventure?

[@angiepersson7950]

Espectacular! Definitivamente en mi lista .When is low season there ? I do not want to be queuing ...

[@toddgac4282]

Great video. Can you rent gear for a week at a time in the Dolomites or do you need to bring your own? Is there a charge $$ to do the via Ferratas or are they free? I'm slightly older but mentally still 20, do you still recommend? I'm in decent shape for this (I think). Loved the variety of the places you hiked in your video. Thank you very much

[@RainerSinkwitz]

I would add Cesare Piazzetta going from passo Pordoi up to Piz Boè (3152m). Has a pretty challenging start.

[@michaeldanloy1756]

Hello Filipp, Very nice video. We are also planning a trip to the Dolomites in Augustus. I have a little question: can you give me more information to find de cavez/tunnel that you have done day 2 after the via Sci club 18. I would like to find it.

[@imfunby1]

I have the same question...what was the one after Sci Club on Day 2?

[@PhilippKlein]

Hello to both of you! After Sci Club we drove to Rif. Auronzo and hiked to the south face of Tofana di Rozes. Up there you follow a path along the wall towards the cave/tunnel. To look it up it’s “Grotta di Tofana di Rozes” which I think means “Tofana Cave”

[@AdeCabo]

Amazing

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you!!

[@rubiracing6637]

Nice video Philip, thanks. What camera do you use?

Hi, thank you! I used GoPros to film the Video part and a Sony A7III for the photos :)

[@GorkaLeguina]

Chulísimo el vídeo y las fotos. Ahí tienes mi LIKE.

[@PhilippKlein]

Gracias!!

[@timturner2006]

I discovered the Dolomites and via farrata in 2020 and have been on 3 trips so far, hopefully many more. Your video is great and you've definitely included my favourites so far. The one I haven't done is Punta Anna/Tofana di Mezzo - next time! I hope also VF Cesco Tomaselli & VF Cesare Piazzetta, plus a few in the Civetta and Cattinacio groups. I would definitely recommend VF delle Trincee - a good introduction to the harder via ferrata, including great views and some historical and geological interest, also safe on a day when the weather isn't so good

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you for your kind words!!! I think Punta Anna was my absolute fav, definitely put it on your list :)

[@cleine8012]

I agree about VF delle Trincee

[@kylehanson5175]

What’s the easiest one?

[@jny1107]

Awesome video Philipp! My friend and I are planning a trip to the Dolomites in June and you've inspired us to do a via ferrata. I've never done a via ferrata before, but I have some climbing experience. Do you think we would be able to do the Monte Paterno via ferrata without a guide? Is the path to the summit very well marked? Or would you recommend getting a guide?

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you Jenny! I’d always recommend a guide (legal advice), but if you have outdoor climbing experience, you should be totally fine, the path is more or less marked and normally with plenty other climbers. Just dont forget your headlamp, the tunnels are dark!

[@bkhellomoto]

Hi Philipp, I thoroughly enjoyed your video! Which via ferrata would you recommend for just a one-day experience? My friend and I are going in May and we are so excited!

[@PhilippKlein]

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your nice words! for one day, I’d recommend the Monte Paterno (the first one of the video). You will hike to 3 Cime (already a highlight) and then you will climb a mountain to get a better view! Pack a headlamp though, to get through the long tunnels :)

[@PhilippKlein]

PS I went back to the Dolomites with a friend who had never climbed and we did just the one I mentioned, he loved it. We slept in the caves in front of 3 Cime and climbed early next morning

[@rphwww]

Tip: Via bocchette centrali in the Brenta group! Also 👌🏻💯

[@alexcorlan5247]

Great video! I enjoyed it a lot. Can you tell me please what helmet are you using in this video? Thank you!

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you! Singing Rock Penta is the helmet

[@kilianmedaer7682]

Hi Philipp, Thank you very much for this lovely video! Great to see you enjoying 'la dolce vita d'italic'. I'm traveling to the dolomites myself, and would like to to do ferret Strobel Punta fliames. In terms of technically, could I bring a beginner with me? (this is the one from the waterfall, right?! Anyway big thanks !! Kind regards, Kilian

[@PhilippKlein]

Hi Kilian, thank you! Beware, the ferrata Strobel Punta Fiames is an easy but long climb to Punta Fiames (a peak), and the waterfall is a different via ferrata (also easy). I think you can take a beginner with you if they’re fit and motivated.

[@Casualyoutubee]

Where is this lake? Love the video!

[@villagomezc]

Hi! I'm from Mexico and I'm interested in going. Do you know of any agencies I can talk to about organizing a trip to that route in the Dolomites? Thanks

Olá, sou do Brasil, parabéns pelo vídeo, mas imagens tão lindas merecem uma câmera 4K. Obrigado.

[@FIN_250]

Great video 👍

[@Eric-sq4hd]

are via ferrata gear, helmet, ropes - required for alta via 2? I was planning to go with almost zero gear. But maybe. I need it? let me know minimum I need

[@PhilippKlein]

Hi Eric, for any Via ferrata you DEFINITELY need helmet, harness and dissipators (specific to Ferrata). Any mountain shop will help you with this, you can also easily rent it in nearby towns like Cortina d’ampezzo

[@Eric-sq4hd]

@@PhilippKlein really. i've heard people saying it is not needed for AV2? people say different things

[@Pablo-eo1mw]

You might be confusing AV1 and AV2? I’ve done AV1, and the basic route has just one very short and easy ferrata (Ra Gusela) where you don’t necessarily need ferrata gear. In contrast, AV2 has several medium difficulty ferratas (grades 2 and 3), which would be quite reckless without protective gear.

[@malene1234]

I want to do this and also would love to take a vi ferrata course, but neither of my friends is into this. How can I meet other people interested in this sport? Someone?

[@PhilippKlein]

Hi Miriam! Where are you based? Many people that want to get started join an alpine club or mountain association, where you can meet likeminded friends and go on trips with them. I started like that, gives you friends for life :)

[@malene1234]

@@PhilippKlein I’m based in Norway, but I live in a small village 😊

[@JohnSmith-oh9ux]

@@malene1234 You don't need any course lol. Just be so-so fit, join club, buy few pieces of equipment and enjoy.

[@michaeldanloy1756]

Hello Philipp, Thank you for your previous answers. I still have one question: during day 3, you have done the via ferrata Michielli Strobel en then you show us at 12' in the movie a nice waterfall. I don't see anaything about waterfall during this via ferrata but i have found another one: Via ferrata di Fanes. Can you tel me if it's the same waterfall we talk or can you juste let me know where to fin yours who looks so nice! Thank you

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you! I think the one with the waterfall is Ferrata Lucio Dalaiti in Parco Naturale di Dolomiti, a short drive

[@kl-ke9ec]

in addition to the lanyard ( I got Petzl Scorpio Vertigo Lanyard) what type of harness did you use, I'm looking at some ultralightweight types like "Petzl TOUR Harness - Lightweight Harness for Glacier Travel and Ski Touring" Would it be sufficient via Ferrata, or do I need a full climbing harness. I'm planning on using it for Alta Via 2 route, its a lot less extreme than yours.

[@PhilippKlein]

Hi! Using a skitouring harness looks tempting (Inhave the Blue Ice Choucas Light) but the issue is actually that the Ferrata lanyard+ dissipators are really heavy, so you’ll definitely need a harness that has some structure else it will be uncomfortable. I use the Black Diamond Solution and love it, it’s fairly light and compact for a sport climbing harness (look for a modern construction liek this one). I’d recommend also the Blue Ice Cuesta, that’s crazy light and still structured/comfortable

[@Ilikeburritos94]

Are there any specific instructions for finding that waterfall on strobel? None of the pictures on all trails show the waterfall that I can find

[@PhilippKlein]

Quick clarification: we did 2 activities on most days. On the day of Strobel, we climbed Strobel in the morning and later drove to “Parco delli Dolomiti”, hiked up there and did the waterfall ferrata (it’s a short one). So it’s not a waterfall on Strobel :)

Hey! Cool video! May I ask what this company is that you did this guided tour with ?

Thank you! This was done with Manaslu Adventures, you can see their website in my description!

Hey Phillip! What was the agency you hired to do the trekking? Im going to the dolomites next October and im seraching for a few good ones. Thanks!

[@PhilippKlein]

Hi, I organised my trip from Spain with Manaslu (link in description), but there are plenty of local agencies/guides that will be able to accomodate you

[@IzaDourado]

Hi! Thanks for share! Who was your guide? Can you share the contact or social media? I'll go to dolomites in may/23.

It was through Manaslu Adventures, but you can get many local guides there

@@PhilippKlein This guided group idea looks fantastic 👌. I was wondering if it's even possible to find more than 2-3 people to climb with. Seems like everyone I meet is scared of heights......
