But let’s go back to our normal route which, after a series of icy stretches, leads to a well-equipped rock section that will allow you to reach the top slopes and summit. It’s easy to tell people and write about it, but it takes some time and strenuous exertion to do it!
But how long and difficult is it? It entails a height difference of 1300 metres with an easy progression on the glacier, so it’s not impossible, you can do it too!
How’s the view from the top? Truly breathtaking! Just think, you can see almost all the Dolomites!
After having read about the Marmolada and seen many photos of it, it’s time you visited the area and tried to conquer the Queen of the Dolomites, don't you think so?! She is waiting for you. Just pluck up courage and go!
