Rosengarten – Laurenzi via ferrata
A long via ferrata day across the narrow Molignonkamm in the Rosengarten group.
1 day · Difficulty D, II · 9 h · Rosengarten group
The Laurenzi via ferrata is the most demanding and most remote via ferrata in the Rosengarten group and, as a day tour, requires very good fitness and concentration on the narrow, at times very exposed ridge of the Molignonkamm.
For anyone who brings the necessary physical and mental prerequisites, this via ferrata is definitely a highlight of their tour log and an absolute dream tour.
The route was built in 1986 by the then hut keeper of the Schutzhaus Tierser Alpl and named after his wife Laurenzia. Along the way we pass the area of the Antermoiahütte, whose name goes back to a nymph or fairy from Ladin legend who is said to live in the Antermoiasee.

PROGRAMME
Day tour: across the Molignonkamm
We have 2 options for first reaching the Schutzhaus Tierser Alpl: from the Seiser Alm or from St. Cyprian. Both are fairly long approaches of at least 2.5 to 3 hours. From the hut, we reach the start of the Laurenzi via ferrata in just under an hour, where we put on our gear.
At first, we reach the Molignonkamm quite easily (A, I). Initially the ridge is still fairly broad and has no cables. We then reach the summit of the North-West Molignon. Now the ridge narrows again; it goes constantly up and down until the first difficult via ferrata sections soon follow. From here, the difficulties increase significantly. The real crux comes right at the end of the via ferrata and has to be tackled in descent.
Once we have mastered this section too, we shortly reach the beautiful Antermoiasee and the Antermoiahütte. If we are doing a day tour, however, the day is far from over. A counter-ascent takes us back up to the Antermoiascharte, past the Grasleitenpasshütte and down a very long descent through the Tschamintal back to St. Cyprian.
Total time: 9 h | ↑ 2,400 m | ↓ 2,400 m | Difficulty: D, II
Info: Ideally, this tour can also be split over 2 days. The Maximilian via ferrata makes a good warm-up tour, as both via ferratas start at the Tierser Alpl, and the Maximilian via ferrata – also exposed and partly without cables, but much easier and shorter – already gives a good indication of whether we are up to the Laurenzi via ferrata. As some of the huts are small and demand is high, it is essential to book early so that we can still get beds.
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
How demanding is the Laurenzi via ferrata really?
The Laurenzi via ferrata is graded D, II and requires very good fitness, sure-footedness and concentration. Above all, the narrow, partly exposed ridge of the Molignonkamm and the crux at the very end, on the descent, make this a serious tour.
Can the tour be done in a day, or is it better with a night in a hut?
As a day tour the circuit is perfectly doable, but long and demanding. In total there are around 9 hours and a lot of vertical metres to cover. If you want to take it easier, the tour can very well be split over 2 days, using the Tierser Alpl as a base.
What do I need to bring for the tour?
For the via ferrata you mainly need suitable mountain boots and a via ferrata set. The detailed packing list comes with your confirmation email. Any missing equipment can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
