The approach can be done entirely on foot. If using the Passo Sella cable car (2180 m) to Rifugio Toni Demetz (2685 m), you save about an hour of hiking. From the cable car, descend on trail 525 and follow signs to the ferrata. If approaching on foot, use trail CAI 525. After about 45–50 minutes, you'll see the signs for the start of the ferrata (1 hour from the car park).

The ferrata is modern, in excellent condition, not too difficult, and very climbable. The rock is sometimes brittle and, being a new route, still needs cleaning. Watch for loose rocks and scree. The ferrata is near Passo Sella and allows you to quickly complete a beautiful climb in a stunning setting, ending at a mountain hut.

The "Furcela de Saslonch" via ferrata features more than 500 m of climbing, with varied scrambling over iron ropes and ramps, and some steep climbs gaining nearly 200 m elevation. The central section has an emergency exit. The upper section includes an exposed jagged ridge and a narrow suspension bridge. In a few steps you descend to Rifugio Toni Demetz. The rocky scenery is impressive, surrounded by the steep walls of Punta Cinque Dita and the Sassolungo massif. Most of the difficulties are grade B, with some sections at grade C.

Descend from the ferrata via trail to Rifugio Demetz (2685 m – 10 minutes from end of ferrata – total 2 hrs 40 min). To return, take trail 525 back to Passo Sella (approx. 4 hrs total).
