Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites, Volume 2

Description

This guidebook describes 77 Via Ferrata routes in the Southern Italian Dolomites, including the soaring spires of the Brenta and the dramatic ridgelines above Lake Garda.  The guidebook is split into the following 10 regions; Vicenza, Rovereto, Riva Del Garda, Brenta, Trento, Bolzano, Feltre, Pale Di San Martino, Agordino, and Belluno.

Each Via Ferrata route has a comprehensive description, access information, maps (1;50,000), and detailed colour photo topos.  All the routes are also graded by technical difficulty and range from short, accessible outings to long, committing multi-day adventures, with distances from 1 to 60km (0.5 to 37 miles) and durations of 1 to 12 hours.

Each route description is accompanied by an at-a-glance information box detailing start and finish points, distance, ascent and descent, estimated time, technical grade, seriousness, wire length, and GPS coordinates for parking. This is perfect for planning your days in the Southern Italian Dolomites.

The concept of Via Ferrate routes was established in the Dolomites, and they are defined as mountain routes that are protected by a series of cables, metal rungs, pegs and ladders.  This guidebook includes advice on how to climb Via Ferratas, information on the local area's history and geology.
