Via ferratas in the Dolomites: equipped routes

The finest equipped routes in the Dolomites, from easy via ferratas to mountaineering lines, with advice on gear and safety.

The Dolomites are the homeland of the via ferrata: equipped routes with cables, rungs and ladders that let you climb walls and summits otherwise reserved for mountaineers. Here you'll find the ferratas sorted by difficulty, from easy via ferratas in the Dolomites suitable for beginners to the most exposed and demanding lines for those with experience and a head for heights.

Among the most famous are the Tridentina to the Pisciadù hut, with its Tibetan bridge, and the Ferrata delle Trincee on the Padon, which weaves rock and Great War history together. For each route we note the approach, elevation gain and time. Remember that a via ferrata always calls for a certified ferrata kit, helmet and harness: choose a route that matches your fitness and set off only in stable weather.
