Via ferratas around the Three Peaks

The fascination of rock! Summit experiences in the Sexten Dolomites.

Hiking is one thing – mountaineering another. On the via ferratas around the Three Peaks and in the Sexten Dolomites, you can experience the power of the mountains as directly as almost nowhere else. Here, the vertical dominates: steel cables, ladders and iron rungs open up new routes across sheer rock. In addition to a helmet and proper safety equipment, a good dose of courage and physical fitness are required – as well as a healthy respect for nature. This also applies to the easier “ferratas” in the Sexten Dolomites. The via ferratas Rotwandspitze and Alpinisteig are an absolute must for passionate mountaineers!
