Freeride skiing on the Marmolada means experiencing the wild heart of the Dolomites on their highest and most majestic peak. With its 3,342 meters of altitude and a vast glacier that dominates the surrounding landscape, the Marmolada is the ideal destination for skiers looking for long off-piste descents, spectacular views and fast access to pristine snowfields. Often called the Queen of the Dolomites, it offers a unique combination of alpine atmosphere, open glacial terrain and freeride lines suitable for different levels.
Thanks to the efficient lift system, in just a few minutes you rise from the forests of Malga Ciapela (1,450 m) to the panoramic platform of Punta Rocca (3,265 m). From here, an entire world of powder routes opens up: wide slopes shaped by the glacier, natural gullies, technical variations and long, continuous descents that drop all the way down into the valley. The scenery is simply breathtaking — a sea of pale Dolomite peaks surrounding the brilliant white ice of the Marmolada glacier.
Spending a day here means immersing yourself in an environment that combines the grand scale of high mountains with the thrilling freedom of real backcountry skiing. Guided by our professionals, you’ll explore the most exciting lines, search for the best snow and enjoy the true essence of freeride in one of the Dolomites’ most iconic settings.
Are you ready to discover the glacier of the Marmolada and experience an unforgettable off-piste adventure in the Queen of the Dolomites?
north-facing exposure ensures cold, dry snow for much of the winter, often preserving powder conditions longer than in other Dolomitic valleys. The terrain is wide and open, perfect for big, sweeping turns, but also includes natural gullies, steeper pitches and multiple variations that allow skiers to choose the ideal line according to their level and snow conditions.
Among the most famous itineraries are the classic Bellunese descent, a long and panoramic route that winds down from Punta Rocca along the glacier; the Val Ombretta and Val di Franzedas off-piste runs, which offer more remote, wild terrain; and the technical lines toward Pian Trevisan and the Serrai di Sottoguda area when conditions allow. These itineraries offer everything from smooth glacial slopes for intermediate freeriders to more challenging, narrow sections that appeal to advanced skiers seeking a true adventure.
The Marmolada is also an excellent destination for those wanting to improve or refine their off-piste ski technique. The terrain is perfect for practicing stability on variable snow, long turns on open slopes and safe navigation of glacial environments. Skiers will experience the essence of Dolomite freeride: long, continuous descents, incredible vistas and the unique atmosphere of the Dolomiti UNESCO World Heritage landscape.
