The routes

Ferrata Tridentina is justifiably a highly popular Via ferrata in the Dolomites. One of the main reasons is the natural beauty of the Sella walls which, combined with the exposure, make the ascent up to the Torre Exner a highly...

This is the ferrata on the Sella and, seeing that it dates back to 1912, also the oldest. It takes a line through the NW Face of Piz Ciavaces, first climbed in 1909 by Mayer and Haupt. The first 250m...

The Ferrata delle Trincee is an interesting itinerary, not only from a physical and naturalistic point of view, but also because it crosses through narrow clefts and tunnels that date back to the First World War, inducing the walker to...

The Queen of the Dolomites and the highest peak in this magnificent massif, Punta Penia, attracts hikers and mountaineers throughout the entire year. The classic Cresta Ovest places ferrata skills into a severe alpine environment: this traverse and descent along...

The Ferrata dei Finanzieri climbs the NW Face of the Colac. This mountain, seen from Canzei  in the early morning light, is not particularly attractive and some even consider it repulsive. The ferrata however leads up to its summit and...

The twin-towered Torre di Toblin rise solitarily above the wide amphitheatre that looks out onto the fantastic north walls of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The panorama is quite superb and because of this dominating position the Austrian troops established...

The Ferrata del Santner, situated on Catinaccio’s impressive west face, seems to have been made specifically to extenuate the beauty and very particular nature of the entire Dolomites massif. It follows a natural line diagonally leftwards and, leading relatively easily...

With its long and exposed series of ladders the “Oliva Detassis” is widely regarded one of the most difficult ferrate in the Brenta Dolomites. The itinerary is often cold and wet but it offers a rare and very particular view...

Together with the Via Ferrata delle Bocchette Alte the Via Ferrata delle Bocchette Centrali is rightly considered one of the most beautiful ferrate in the Brenta Dolomites. Crossing wild, exposed, but always well-equipped ledges, on clear days the view east...

The extraordinary Via Ferrata delle Bocchette Alte is the most famous ferrata in the Brenta Dolomites. Offering panoramas of incomparable beauty throughout, it is an itinerary that fails to disappoint. The route crosses the famous Bocchette along a series of...

Monte Paterno is an excellent observation point for the impressive north faces of the Tre Cime, symbol of alpinism not only in the Dolomites but all over the world. The view from the ‘De Luca - Innerkofler’ via ferrata is...

This beautiful, tough ferrata crosses the exposed southwest face of the Col Rosà, the isolated rocky peak between the Tofane and Pomagagnon. Though the vertical climb (completely equipped) is short it gives the expert mountaineer immense satisfaction. On reaching the...

The Ferrata Formenton is in fact a beautiful traverse that starts from the summit of Tofana di Mezzo, which is reached via cable car. By ascending the Tofana di Mezzo’s south face one can access the less visited Tofana di...

The ferrata leads up the highest of the three Tofane. When joined to the Giuseppe Olivieri ferrata at Punta Anna (see related itinerary) it makes up a long and difficult, but highly satisfying traverse for the well-trained. Even though the...

This ascent, almost entirely equipped with cables, follows the steep southern arête up Punta Anna, the large outcrop that looks onto the Tofana di Mezzo. Without a doubt one of the most interesting and beautiful via ferrata in the Dolomites,...

The ‘Lipella’ high up on the Tofana di Rozes is an unmissable ferrata for any keen mountaineer. A splendid journey into the heart of the Dolomites and a trip into history where the most tragic and memorable events of the...
