Via ferratas and mountaineering routes in the Dolomites

Equipped and mountaineering routes (grade EEA) that need specific gear, experience and a head for heights.

When the trail runs out and the rock starts, you're into via ferratas and mountaineering routes. These are grade EEA routes. They need specific gear, a ferrata kit, helmet and harness, plus experience and no fear of exposure.

This page gathers the equipped and mountaineering routes, from the historic Great War ferratas to the normal routes up the more reachable summits. For each one we note the difficulty, the elevation gain and the gear you'll need. First time on rock? Think about hiring a mountain guide.
