Long, tiring, and exposed approach along the buttress. Requires absolute step security on steep unprotected terrain, partially with grade I difficulty. Long descent with reascents. The route is well equipped with taut cables on solid pitons.
This combination of the Gusella Path and the Ferrata del Velo is technically from easy to medium difficulty. The descent from Passo Stephen requires very secure footing. It is a magnificent ferrata that requires stable weather conditions and good planning due to the vast territory.
Ferrata partly on very steep and exposed terrain. Long approach to the start.
Very varied climb with medium technical difficulty on the southern slopes of the Pale di San Martino. Do not underestimate the route length.
Easy via ferrata, but long and only partially protected in a very isolated area; reopened after being closed due to a landslide. Sure footing is necessary on terrain that is not always stable.
Easy access and not particularly long; also considered a "mini-descent." The ferrata is short but very steep. Extremely exposed climb, directly up the rocky rib. Requires arm strength. Key sections are aided with rungs and metal footholds. A training ferrata, ideal for a short summer afternoon outing in good weather.
Short ferrata of medium difficulty with a long approach. High-altitude area certainly not crowded.
Very long route in an isolated area in one of the most remote corners of the Pale. The long approach and equally long descent combined with the steep climb to Forcella dell'Orsa make this a challenge for well-trained climbers in a wild and beautiful landscape.
High-altitude ferrata to be tackled only in very good weather conditions. Its length and technical difficulty make it one of the toughest climbs in the Dolomites.
