The Dolomites are without doubt some of the most dramatic, spectacular and beautiful mountains you will find anywhere. With explosive shapes and unique colours they can be regarded as the crown jewels ot the European Alpine range. Via Ferrata climbing is a way of enjoying the sheer magnificence of this awesome mountain environment.
Although Via Ferrata exist elsewhere in the Alps, they represent one of the major attractions in the Dolomites.

Routes are graded according to difficulty, and this is fully explained in the 'Safety' section of the introduction.
