Via ferratas across the Dolomites – 5 days

“Dolomiti senza confini” Part 1

The via ferrata high route that unites across borders in the Dolomites.

In via ferratas we cross one of the most beautiful sections of the Dolomites and stay overnight in mountain huts. The route runs largely along the front of the First World War and has now, a hundred years after the end of the war, been opened with the help of an EU project as a via ferrata peace trail. Because the whole tour is rather demanding, we offer you to come with us on this 1st part of the itinerary.
