Camoglieres Via Ferrata

Just before entering the small village of Camoglieres, you’ll find a parking lot and an information board for the Ferrata on the left. Opened in 2006, it is a very physical, high-adrenaline French/Dolomite-style via ferrata.
The route is located in the area between Camoglieres (980m) and the summit of Crocetta Soprana (1,320 m).
The climbing time is approximately 3 hours, with some very physical and vertical sections.
The equipped route exclusively follows ledges, natural chimneys, terraces, and old trail tracks, and features a picturesque Tibetan bridge that makes the excursion even more fun.
You can venture into a wild, solitary environment of extraordinary beauty. The route reaches various rocky ledges above the village of Camoglieres, where you can admire the unspoiled flora of this area and, with a bit of luck, spot roe deer and chamois. The descent paths and escape routes are easy and scenic.
It’s a sunny and warm spot, so it’s best to avoid it on the hottest summer days. Ideal period: from April to October/November.
If the mere thought terrifies you, a nice path goes up the slope next to the rock face, so you can reach the mountain peak without climbing and enjoy watching those tackling the via ferrata.
Please note: a mandatory basic kit is required for the via ferrata. The kit can be rented at the Locanda del Silenzio in Camoglieres
Before starting, you must read the access conditions, information, and prohibitions detailed on the technical panel at the beginning of the route.
