Via Ferrata delle Mesules

This ferrata is demanding and alpine in character, suitable for experienced hikers. It requires good physical fitness, no fear of heights, and sure-footedness. The route alternates between sections equipped with cables and ladders and unprotected terrain, where progression involves easy but exposed climbing on rock. Some of the initial passages are particularly delicate due to exposure and discontinuous protection.
After the first section, you reach the Mesules Plateau, a vast and isolated area that is one of the most distinctive features of the route. From there, the path continues along the final part of the via ferrata up to the summit.
From the top, there is a wide panoramic view over the Sella Group and the surrounding Dolomites, extending toward the Sassolungo massif and the main peaks of the area.
The Via Ferrata delle Mesules is a long, varied, and highly rewarding ascent, one of the most iconic routes in the Sella Group, recommended for well-prepared hikers with experience on demanding via ferratas.

Via Ferrata Piccolo Cir

The route starts from Gardena Pass (2121 m), with an approach along a well-marked trail toward the upper station of the Dantercepies cable car and then on a steep path across rocky terrain up to the start (about 30 minutes).
The ferrata begins with easy rocky passages that quickly become more exposed. You pass a metal ladder and several well-gripped rock steps, alternating between vertical and diagonal sections on solid rock. A small panoramic terrace offers a short rest before the final section.
The last part follows a scree path and then climbs a diagonal wall along a well-protected but exposed crack, leading to the summit of Piccolo Cir (2520 m), with wide views over the Sella Group and the Odle peaks.
The descent is either along the ascent route or, more commonly recommended, via a protected gully that leads back down to a scree path and then returns to Gardena Pass.

Via Ferrata Col Rodella

The approach is incredibly convenient: by taking the cable car from Campitello di Fassa to the top station, you walk slightly downhill towards the Rodella Hut. From there, a marked trail leads to the start of the cables at the base of the south wall in just 10 to 15 minutes.

The via ferrata itself covers a modest elevation gain but is vertical and engaging. The route is excellently equipped with steel cables and numerous iron stemples. The climb starts abruptly with a vertical wall that requires some upper-body strength, followed by a mix of exposed sections and comfortable ledges to catch your breath. The crux is a steep corner-crack, after which you climb easier rocks leading directly to the summit cross.

The descent is quick and safe: a comfortable path winds down the opposite grassy slope, bringing you back to the cable car or the hut in just a few minutes.
