Performance: hradware included
Dates: dates on request
Price: per person: 120 €
Number of participants: min. 3

The via ferrata Brigata Tridentina is an iron route in the northern Sella massif, in the Dolomites. The trailhead is just on the high saddle of passo Gardena, or on the parking place a bit below it. The ferrata is very popular, so the place is quite crowdy.

This classic ferrata is long and sustained, often vertical sections, but well equipped with iron holds and steps. Very exposed sections!  You must cross a phantastic suspension bridge.

On the end of the via ferrata we can climb the Exner Tower.

Descent:
On the descent it is best to take the route through Val Setus. From the hut you follow the marked route No. 666 over the broad ridge towards the West. The upper part of Val Setus is again very steep and crumbly.

 classe C, time 4 – 5  hours, with 610 metres height difference.
