Vie Ferrate

"A via ferrata (Italian for iron road. The plural form is "vie ferrate". In German, a via ferrata is known as a "klettersteig" or "climbing step".) is a mountain route which is equipped with fixed cables, stemples, ladders, and bridges. The use of these allows otherwise isolated routes to be joined to create longer routes which are accessible to people with a wide range of climbing abilities. Walkers and climbers can follow via ferratas without needing to use their own ropes and belays, and without the risks associated with unprotected scrambling and climbing"

Ferrata Bolver-Lugli al Cimon della Pala

Very difficult. For very well trained and prepared trekkers.
From Colverde (m. 2000), it takes one hour to get to the Ferrata starting point (a bronze sign at the foot of the mountain wall). Follow the red signs up to an altitude of about 2500 m, where the first aids have been set. The track gets steep and very exposed. The via ferrata proceeds along the crest, up to the Bivacco Fiamme Gialle (3005 m). 3.30 hours.
