ABOUT THE TOUR
An enjoyable via ferrata week in Val Gardena and around Passo Sella, packed with some real highlights of the Dolomites.
Difficulty C/D · 6 days · Val Gardena, Dolomites
In Val Gardena, at Passo Sella, on the Cirspitzen and in the Sassolungo Group, you will find some of the finest and most rewarding via ferratas in the Dolomites. They lead to beautiful summits with phenomenal views. An enjoyable via ferrata week, sprinkled with several absolute via ferrata highlights.
The plan is made according to the weather and the participants’ fitness. Possible objectives in this region include the Kleine Cirspitze, the Oskar Schuster Klettersteig, the Pisciadu Klettersteig, the Finanzieri Klettersteig, the Pößnecker Klettersteig and the Col Rodella Klettersteig. This creates a varied week with easy introductions, longer classics and also some more airy passages for everyone who is here for exactly that reason.
The appeal of this week lies not only in the individual routes, but also in the mix: every day a different area, a different character, a different view of the Dolomites. Sometimes short and punchy, sometimes longer and more alpine.

PROGRAM
Day 1: Kleine Cirspitze
We meet directly at Grödner Joch, where we check our equipment and receive a short introduction to via ferrata climbing. We then set off straight away for the Kleine Cirspitze, where we put the theory into practice on a short via ferrata. From the summit we have a wonderful view of the mountains we will be visiting over the coming days. Afterwards we check into our accommodation for the week.
Total time: 3 h | ↑ 400 m ascent | ↓ 400 m descent | Difficulty: B/C

Day 2: Oskar Schuster
On the second day we drive to Passo Sella and continue by cable car to the Langkofelscharte. From here we first descend to the Langkofelhütte and then climb up to the start of the Oskar Schuster Klettersteig on the Plattkofel. The descent follows the normal route to the Plattkofelhütte and along the Friedrich-August-Weg back to Passo Sella.
Total time: 7 h | ↑ 700 m ascent | ↓ 1,200 m descent | Difficulty: B/C

Day 3: Pisciadu
The starting point on the third day lies beyond Grödner Joch. The Pisciadu Klettersteig is one of the most visited and most popular via ferratas in the entire Dolomites. And of course there is a reason for that. Without doubt, it is one of the most beautiful via ferratas in the region. For the descent, either the Mittagstal or the Val Setus is possible.
Total time: 6 h | ↑ 650 m ascent | ↓ 650 m descent | Difficulty: C

Day 4: Pößnecker Steig
Once again starting from Passo Sella, it takes half an hour to reach the start of the Pößnecker Klettersteig on Piz Miara. It is the oldest via ferrata in Val Gardena and climbs upward without artificial steps. From Piz Miara we cross the impressive moonscape of the Sella-Hochfläche and descend through Val Lasties back to Passo Sella.
Total time: 8 h | ↑ 1,050 m ascent | ↓ 1,050 m descent | Difficulty: C/D
⌂ Hotel
Day 5: Finanzieri
From Canazei we take the Ciampac cable car up to the hut of the same name and from there continue to the start of the Finanzieri Klettersteig. From the summit of Colac we descend on the far side into Val Contrin and follow it back to the starting point of our tour.
Total time: 7 h | ↑ 600 m ascent | ↓ 1,250 m descent | Difficulty: C/D
⌂ Hotel
Day 6: Col Rodella
From Passo Sella we tackle the short but quite airy Col Rodella Klettersteig. Afterwards, following an intense, exciting and memorable week, it is already time to head home again.
Total time: 3 h | ↑ 300 m ascent | ↓ 300 m descent | Difficulty: C/D
Info: Without the cable car, the approach on day 2 is extended by approx. 1.5 h and 500 m of ascent. Without the cable car, the approach on day 5 is extended by approx. 2 h and 700 m of ascent. The accommodation for this week will be reserved as quickly as possible once the booking has been received.
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)
Who is this via ferrata week suitable for?
The week is suitable for sure-footed and fit mountain walkers with some via ferrata experience. The tours go up to difficulty C/D; you should therefore feel comfortable in steeper terrain and also cope well with longer days in the Dolomites.
Where do we stay during the week?
During the week we stay in a hotel as a fixed base. This is convenient because we do not need to change luggage every day, and the individual tours in Val Gardena and around Passo Sella are easily accessible from there.
What equipment do I need to bring?
You will receive the exact packing list with the confirmation email. Most important are suitable mountain boots and clothing for changeable weather. Technical equipment can be hired from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.</br>
