An interesting and varied route with relatively short access and descent, this ferrata is a good test of aptitude for longer and harder climbs. Good climbing techniques are immediately required at the start, but the ascent becomes significantly easier. The route is very popular in high season; expect long waiting times.
This summit circuit is more of a demanding hike than a proper via ferrata. On fine summer days, you'll rarely find yourself alone on this route, which largely follows restored First World War paths.
Some steep, exposed, and difficult sections, especially the key crux point just above the start, require strong arm strength. Beautiful climbing with some exposure at the exit. Solid mountain experience and good technique for long reaches and unprotected moves are essential.
Despite this excursion along the exposed ledge system of the Cime Fanis being praised in some guidebooks, the full circuit is not generally recommended. This description follows a shorter route, which can be considered an alternative to the Ferrata Tomaselli or combined with it. Although the route described here is relatively short, it should not be underestimated: solid footing and good sense of direction are essential!
Very long hike with a very short ferrata. Requires good physical condition. The short ferrata is not the main focus — the views are.
A long and demanding hike with short steel cable-secured sections on the summit ridge. This is certainly not a route for via ferrata enthusiasts who "seek the iron" (i.e., climbers who prefer longer secured sections). An experienced mountaineer could easily complete this climb without needing to secure themselves. For those seeking a beautiful hike in a remote environment (only relatively isolated after the Gran Fanes pasture), this route is a good choice. The climb to Monte Vallon Bianco requires a steady pace and good weather, and is best done in combination with the Furcia Rossa Ferrata (only for experienced climbers in excellent physical condition).
A ferrata with a long approach and descent, partially secured, that follows old military paths from the Great War. The route includes recently renewed ladders and cables. Excellent physical condition, solid mountain experience, stable weather, and a sure-footed step are essential for this excursion. The entire trail network between Vallon Bianco and the Furcia Rossa peaks is called the "Peace Trail." At the end of the descent from Furcia Rossa III, in case of sudden weather changes, there is an option to detour via the Bivacco della Pace (30 minutes from the end of the ladders).
A very long hike with a short "ferrata intermezzo" at the round summit dome. A decidedly solitary climb to a panoramic summit, reached via an easy protected section. In all cases, it's a tour more suited for climbers who enjoy "long approaches" and is less recommended for pure via ferrata lovers.
Very long route, scenically rewarding, along a protected path and with a short via ferrata on the Sasso delle Dieci. The ascent to Sasso di Santa Croce is also suitable for experienced hikers with a steady step and good physical condition. However, for the section on the Sasso delle Dieci via ferrata, proper via ferrata equipment is recommended.
