Via ferrata in the UNESCO World Heritage site

In the heart of the rocks

In Val Gardena, rock awakens as a place of adventure. Ascend on steel cables, along exposed ridges, with views of the Dolomite peaks. Those who climb here feel the mountain intimately: the flutter in their stomachs, the light on the rock, the vastness beneath their feet. An experience that moves, inspires and lingers.

The finest via ferrata routes in Val Gardena take you along paths steeped in mountaineering heritage – such as the historic via ferrata delle Mesules or the captivating Sentiero del Sassolungo below the Punta delle Cinque Dita. Rock ledges, ladders and exposed passages, along with the panorama of the Sella Group, make every ascent exceptional. At the summit, wind gusts, light breaks over the rock walls, and you stand in harmony with yourself and nature.
