Via Ferrata traverse in the Dolomites
A week of vie ferrate and hiking from rifugio to rifugio
The World Famous Vie Ferrate (“iron ways”) of the
Dolomites are well protected
itineraries with wire cables for safety, iron rods and steps fixed to
the rock
allowing non-climbers an easier approach to the mountains.
To make this fascinating “game” even safer, you
will need simple mountaineering
equipment such as a harness, helmet, some rope and a few karabiners.
Your guide
will teach you how to use the equipment and give you hints on climbing
techniques; each day we will discover an exciting new route in complete
security.
Our Via Ferrata holidays provide an opportunity to learn the ropework
skills
required for the safe use of this type of route, and also provide
guided
ascents of some of the most classic routes in the Dolomites such as the
Via
Ferrata Tridentina, Punta Ana, Lipella, Tomaselli and others in the
area.
