Via ferrata climbing – using routes with fixed cables, ladders and bridges – is a great way for walkers and scramblers (with a head for heights) to get to places usually reserved for expert rock climbers. In the Dolomites it is also an exhilarating way to enjoy a magnificent and unique mountain environment.

This updated edition of Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites volume 1, with new maps throughout and seven brand new routes, covers the northern, central and eastern Dolomites across an area stretching from Val di Fassa to Auronzo.

  • 82 routes grouped by 10 valley bases, with guidance on choosing the best base for attacking each of the routes
  • all graded according to the authors’ own simple system
  • ranges include Catinaccio, Marmolada, Sella, Puez Odle, Fanes, Tofane, Cristallo, Sesto, Sorapiss and Marmarole.
