ABOUT THE TOUR
A short, exposed via ferrata leads from Gardena Pass to Kleine Cirspitze – ideal for anyone who likes a bit of Dolomite air with a touch of spice.
Difficulty B/C (via ferrata) · 3.5 h · Gardena Pass, Dolomites
The via ferrata on Kleine Cirspitze is short but punchy. From Gardena Pass, the route climbs to a small Dolomite summit that brings a surprising amount of character for its size. Thanks to its south-facing aspect, this tour can often be done fairly early in the via ferrata season by Dolomites standards.
This tour is very well suited to via ferrata beginners. At the top, a small, exposed summit awaits with a lovely panorama. And if Kleine Cirspitze is not enough, you can add Große Cirspitze as another Dolomite summit with easy via ferrata sections.

PROGRAM
Day tour: Kleine Cirspitze
At the car park, we carry out a short equipment check and, if necessary, hand out the required rental gear. From Gardena Pass, we ascend along the southern slopes below the Cirspitzen on pleasant hiking trails to the start of the route. Once there, we put on harnesses and helmets and attach the via ferrata set.
Anyone who does not yet feel completely comfortable will also be additionally secured on the mountain guide’s rope, so that the via ferrata experience becomes an enjoyable one for everyone. We then follow the easiest route through the steep rock walls of Kleine Cirspitze to the small summit. At the top, the view opens out above all towards the Sella and Sassolungo massifs.
From the summit, we first descend via cable-protected sections to a notch and then return to the start via a steep scree gully. If that has whetted your appetite, you can also add the slightly higher and longer Große Cirspitze, which is clearly easier in climbing terms.
Total time: 3.5 h | ↑ 400 m ascent | ↓ 400 m descent | Difficulty: B/C (via ferrata)
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - (FAQs)
Is the via ferrata on Kleine Cirspitze suitable for beginners?
Yes, the via ferrata is well suited to motivated beginners. The B/C difficulty is challenging without being overwhelming, and if needed the mountain guide can provide additional support with the rope. Sure-footedness and some mountain experience are helpful.
What do I need to bring for the tour?
The most important things are sturdy mountain boots and weather-appropriate clothing. The detailed packing list is sent with the confirmation email. Via ferrata equipment can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
Can you add another tour after Kleine Cirspitze?
Yes, if there is still time, energy and motivation, you can often add Große Cirspitze. It is a little longer, but technically easier. Whether that makes sense on the day is decided by our mountain guide depending on the group and the conditions.
