Triglav, Grossglockner and Marmolada mountaineering trip

Triglav, Grossglockner and Marmolada mountaineering trip

Explore three Alpine ranges on an 11-day mountaineering trip: Slovenia’s Julian Alps, the Austrian Tyrol and the Italian Dolomites. Triglav (2,864 m), Grossglockner (3,798 m) and Marmolada/Punta Penia (3,343 m) provide the main climbing objectives, with mountain huts and changing landscapes linking the journey.

Mirando al Sur arranges the trip with a mountain guide, travel between the ranges and a reserve day. A circuit around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Innerkofler–Sentiero delle Forcelle via ferrata in the Monte Paterno area add another way to experience the Dolomites.

Your mountain trip with Mirando al Sur

This trip suits mountain enthusiasts who want to discover several Alpine environments in one journey. Hut nights are interspersed with valley hotels, giving you time to recover between the different mountain stages.

The summits are planned objectives. Conditions, the group’s progress and use of the reserve day determine what can be achieved. Discuss your previous experience and equipment with the guide before confirming a place.
