Masarè Via Ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

In my opinion one of the most beautiful via ferratas in South Tyrol. Lots of ridge towers with spectacular views both deep and wide. But never particularly difficult. (max. C)

Torre Finestra (2,540 m)

Highlight • Climb

Depending on the day of the week, the day or the season, the top climb is quite crowded with people, some of whom have little experience. Then there are waiting times and oncoming traffic

Roda di Vaèl (Rotwand) Summit Cross

Vajolon Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Vajolon Pass is a worthwhile destination in the Rosengarten. Not easy because of lots of loose gravel! Surefootedness is required. You will be rewarded with great views!
