Amazing adventures with Enrico! He was referred to us originally by friends and so happy they did. Of course he is professional - that was to be expected-but more than that he is gracious and empathetic to the needs of new clients.
He smartly took us on fairly easy Ferrata the first day to gauge our skill level. It was really only our second time so we were certainly newbies. However in rather short order his guidance and teaching ability helped us progress very rapidly. By the end of our 4th day we were doing 3-B level without difficulty.
He would pick us up at our hotel ( we stayed at the Royal Hotel in Cortina - nice enough 3 star ( owner grumpy but rest of staff wonderful) and on the drive to the Ferrata discussions about what to expect and what the plan for the day would be. We were completely taken care of. Of note he also gave great tips on best lunch spot ( Toto) best gelato etc.
We will be back for sure next year and happy to work with him again. Will hope to do uplevels...
   Read moreIâve been in loved with mountains since childhood and rock climbing has always been a dream for me; and do it safely itâs a priority. For this reason, I decided to climb together with a wise mountain guide and that's how I met Enrico. To date, Enrico and I have done about fifteen climbs around the Dolomites and in addition to be an excellent Alpine Guide, over time he has also become a dear friend. Climbing with Enrico makes a simple trip to the mountains a wonderful and unforgettable experience. The smiles, the stories told, the breathtaking views, but also, simply a good lunch with a fresh beer after finishing climbing together, are emotions that I will always carry in my heart. To all those who want to spend a day in the mountains in safety and in the company of a dear friend, I warmly recommend Enrico Maioni. A hug dear friend and see you soon at the next mountain trip...

Cette citation rĂŠsume Ă merveille lâexpĂŠrience unique que nous a permis de vivre Enrico.
Notre sĂŠjour dans les Dolomiti ĂŠtait un voyage père-fils que je voulais inoubliable pour tous les deux . Grâce Ă Enrico, notre guide, le rĂŠsultat sâest rĂŠvĂŠlĂŠ au delĂ de nos attentes. Mon idĂŠe première ĂŠtait de parcourir plusieurs vie ferrate. Dans nos ĂŠchanges prĂŠliminaires par mail, Enrico nous a parfaitement aidĂŠs dans le choix dâun hĂ´tel et du matĂŠriel nĂŠcessaire tout en organisant un premier programme.
Lors de notre première rencontre Ă lâhĂ´tel, le soir de notre arrivĂŠe, Enrico a appris que mon fils de 18 ans pratiquait lâescalade en salle, chose que je nâai jamais faite. Il nous a alors fait part de sa passion pour lâescalade et nous a proposĂŠ de nous initier Ă lâescalade en milieu naturel. Jâavoue que jâĂŠtais perplexe et un peu inquiet Ă cette idĂŠe, mais la proposition ĂŠtait vraiment excitante et Enrico ĂŠtait très encourageant.
Le premier jour nous a permis de faire la magnifique Ferrata degli alpini sul Col dei bos. Dès les premiers mètres, nous ĂŠtions conquis! Lâaprès-midi, Enrico nous a emmenĂŠs Ă la salle dâescalade de Cortina dâAmpezzo et jâai reçu mon premier cours dâescalade, chacun pouvant ensuite sâentraĂŽner Ă son rythme.
Le deuxième jour, munis du matĂŠriel adĂŠquat, nous nous sommes rendus aux Cinque Torre oĂš nous avons escaladĂŠ grâce aux conseils dâEnrico, la quarta basse, la torre inglese et la via ÂŤÂ rosa mundi  sur la torre grande ( cima ovest).
Le troisième jour, nous avons parcouru la Ferrata Olivieri jusquâĂ la punta Anna. Après une halte rafraĂŽchissante au Rifugio giussani , nous sommes repartis par le Sentiere ferrato Astaldi.
Le quatrième jour fĂťt lâapothĂŠose du sĂŠjour avec lâescalade du Spigolo del sass de stria ( via colbertaldo-pezzotti). Ascension superbe , paysages ĂŠpoustouflants!!!
Alors oui, Enrico est un guide extraordinaire, passionnĂŠ et passionnant, amoureux de ses montagnes natales. Il est dotĂŠ dâune extrĂŞme compĂŠtence qui nâa dâĂŠgal que son humilitĂŠ. Mais câest aussi un homme dont la gentillesse, le calme et les conseils toujours encourageants nous ont permis de nous dĂŠpasser et de vivre une expĂŠrience rare, sans jamais se sentir en insĂŠcuritĂŠ.
Merci Enrico. Merci de nous avoir permis, Ă mon fils et Ă moi-mĂŞme, de vivre ces moments uniques de pur bonheur. Nous ne les...
