Via Ferrata Cima Capi at Lake Garda with the mountain guide Demis Centi

If you want to do canyoning, rock climbing or via ferrata in Lake Garda, do it with this company – Demis (our guide for our canyoning trip) was simply awesome. Although we only spent a half day canyoning with him I am sure he would be awesome for all other activities as well. He was friendly, attentive, encouraging, knowledgeable – everything you want in an outdoor guide. We called him up at 12noon and luckily he had spare spots on his afternoon canyoning trip – less than 3 hours later we were jumping, sliding and abseiling through the canyon. Great fun and highly recommend. A basic level of fitness is needed to do the 20 min climb up the hill to the start (some steep and narrow parts), and also to get through the canyon itself. Don’t need to be a strong swimmer but helps if you are confident around water.

We spent 5 days with Demis Centi of Garda Outdoor in Arco, Trentino Italy. He is quite simply the very best guide ever. We did four days of rock-climbing – beginners and some multi pitch and he took care of us extremely well. He is calm, super safety conscious, encouraging and generally a very positive guy. We learned loads! We also went canyoning with him and the experience was both thrilling and tranquil. Demis has been climbing since he was a boy and his knowledge of the outdoors as well as his understanding of the history of the area was fantastic. On our last day with him we went for a meal and it is one that I will remember for a very long time. I cannot recommend this company highly enough – go with them, you won’t be disappointed. Demis – we miss you!

We (my boyfriend and I) booked the via ferrata di contrabbandieri (Smugglers Route) with Demis as our tour guide. It was absolutely amazing.
First of all: Demis was the nicest guide we could possibly get! He explained everything, made sure our equipment fits, calmed me down at any time (I am a little bit afraid of heights), thought of taking breaks every now and then to drink water (it was very hot that day), took photos for us and was just really thoughtful in general. He also gave us a lot of interesting information about Lake Garda and the area. Just great!
