A very popular classic, but still requires some experience and physical fitness. A moderately demanding ferrata, fully equipped with a steel cable. Numerous rungs, iron steps, and a ladder help overcome the difficult sections.
A short ferrata, fully equipped with steel cables, with two very steep and exposed climbs on ladders, and an airy, difficult exit from the second ladder.
A short ferrata with a steep and difficult exit wall, few holds, and usually wet (small waterfall nearby); short ferrata with long ascent and descent. In the first section, the cable is in poor condition; the difficult passages are well equipped.
A climb to the highest point of the Sella group, technically not very difficult. Several secured sections and a ridge lead to Rifugio Capanna Piz Fassa on Piz Boè, the highest elevation of the Sella Massif.
A long and very steep climb with a strenuous initial section that non-climbers will find challenging as it requires strength and good climbing technique.
A decisively alpine ferrata, climbing on smooth rock slabs; the steepest sections are overcome using ladders and artificial fixtures (rungs and pegs). Mostly steep and very exposed, it requires upper body strength and good climbing technique. Due to its northwest exposure, the ferrata remains shaded and often wet, cold, or icy. The descent is very long.
A short ferrata, fully equipped with steel cables, with some airy and exposed points, and a short rocky step with iron rungs. Watch for falling rocks in the first few metres.
The via ferrata to the Forcella del Sassolungo (also known as Ferrata Furcela de Saslonch) is a route inaugurated in 2022 that allows access to Rifugio Demetz—connecting the Sasso Piatto and Sassolungo groups between Val Gardena and Val di Fassa. The ferrata is of medium difficulty and is an interesting alternative for reaching the hut and enjoying impressive views of the Dolomite massifs surrounding Passo Sella.
Since the Oskar Schuster is not fully equipped with steel cables, it is suited for experienced climbers capable of managing unprotected climbing sections, including easy scrambling without fixed protection.
