Kaiserjäger and Lagazuoi war tunnels
Ascent to Mt. Lagazuoi along the communication way of the Austrian troops; descent along the war tunnel built by the Italian troops.
Cortina, with its 24 Vie Ferrate and its equipped trails, rigorously marked and perfectly maintained, is the paradise of Via Ferrata.
Vie Ferrate are alpine trails equipped with iron cables, metal ladders, boardwalks, bridges, steps and other artificial holds to ease the ascent of rock walls in total safety.
Vie Ferrate are considered a peculiarity of the Dolomites. They were first built during World War 1 by the Italian and Austrian Armies, which fought a useless and bloody trench war for more than three years on these mountains. Plenty of evidence of this sad page of history is still visible.
Climbing a Via Ferrata is a unique experience and allows even beginner climbers to enjoy, in total safety, the breathtaking views and the charming atmosphere of the Dolomites.
The Giovanni Barbara Via Ferrata, at Fanes Waterfalls, is definitely the most suitable for beginners and younger kids. Though the difficulty grade is low, climbing through canyons and waterfalls will leave you amazed.
Vie Ferrate Ra Gusela at Nuvolau, Averau, ra Pegna at Pomedes, and the trails Kaiserjager at Lagazuoi and Astaldi at Tofane, though still easy, are the next step up.
The main intermediate routes are: Ra Bujela at Pomedes, Alpini at Col dei Bos, Formenton on the Tofane, and Strobel on Mt. Pomagagnon.
Punta Anna, Lipella, Bovero, and Sci Club 18 are among the most difficult ones.
A few useful suggestions to discover our area, its history and its traditions.
