Ultimate Via Ferratas around Alleghe/Cortina, Daily Itinerary:

Day 1 (Travel Day):
Travel to Alleghe, meeting with the guide in the late afternoon. Trip briefing and dinner.

Day 2 – 6:
Here is only a small selection of options that we have from our base in Alleghe.

Via Ferrata Trincee:
25 min drive to trailhead at Fedaja Lake: Not too long of a trip. Very scenic ridge traverse along the Austrian WW1 position. After a relatively difficult start the route becomes easier. It is well suited in questionable weather due to good and frequent bail out possibilities.

Marmolada West Ridge Via Ferrata:
Relatively long trip to the highest peak in the Dolomites. 25 min drive to a chair lift at the Fedaja Lake. Chair lift ride, then 1 hrs approach hike, partly on a glacier. A long via ferrata lead us to the summit of the Punta Penia (3300m), where we can have a late lunch in the summit hut. Descent on the Marmolada glacier back to the chair lift. The via ferrata is not very technical but the length and the alpine ambiance of the mountain make it quite a serious outing. Crampons / ice axe necessary!

Via Ferrata Alleghesi to the Civetta:
With help from a gondola that starts in Alleghe (5 min walk from our hotel) this ferrata can be approached with about 2.5 hours of walking. The route follows largely the North Ridge of the mountain and is one of the longest in the Dolomites.
On the descent, we can have a late lunch in the Torrani Hut, which is located about 20 min. below the summit. From there, we can either continue our descent by using the via ferrata Tissi (difficult) or quicker on the normal route, which has little cables but requires easy scrambling.
All in all a very impressive and long day!

Via Ferrata Constantini - Traverse of the Moiazza:
Another via ferrata superlative. Rated very difficult and very long!
30 min drive to trail head at the Passo Duran. 45 min approach hike and about 9 hrs on the via ferrata with one bail out option half way.
Very impressive and usually not very busy.

Via Ferrata Tomaselli / Cima Fanis
20 min of driving to the Falzarego Pass. From there relatively quick access by gondola. Somewhat shorter (4 hrs round trip) but very difficult via ferrata to a neighboring summit of the Tofana di Rozes.
The trip can be nicely combined with meeting the “hiking group” mid day for lunch at the Lagazuoi summit and then we could descend together through the WW1 tunnels back to the Falzarego Pass.

Day 7 (Travel Day):
Departure after breakfast.
