Breathtaking landscapes that combine daunting towers, impressive cliffs and beautiful meadows make the Sesto Dolomites an ideal spot for Via Ferrata. During this 3-day itinerary you will learn about this stunning mountain range.
The 3-day tour is actually full 3 days with via ferrata, but we include day 1 on the itnerary, because on the arrival day we need to do the briefing, material check and catch the gondola ride before 4pm to reach rifugio Prati di Croda Rossa.
We will start our trip at rifugio Prati di Croda Rossa hut from where we will ascend via the Anderter Alpe to the start of the via ferrata Strada degli Alpini. From the top, you will enjoy spectacular views of the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
During our 3 days together, we will explore new via ferratas, on route is made up of narrow but assured roads, difficult passes and the crossing of two spectacular Tibetan bridges. We will also walk around the Torre di Toblin. And finally, on day 3, we will we climb the peak of the Monte Paterno (2.744m) – and descend via the tunnels from the 1st World War.
We will spend three nights in mountain huts, the first one in rifugio Prati di Croda Rossa hut, the second one in rifugio Comici hut, and the last one in rifugio Locatelli hut.
If you are ready to walk through routes opened during the First World War, please request to book this trip. I can guarantee an unforgettable experience!
