Bocchette Centrali via ferrata, Brenta Dolomites
<p>A spectacular itinerary with a <strong>great view</strong> from the most <strong>aerial</strong> of ledges in the Brenta Dolomites. A dream hike for thrill seekers looking for <strong>altitude</strong>, <strong>cliff faces</strong>, and <strong>stunning panoramas</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>Bocchette Centrali via ferrata</strong> heads into the untamed heart of the Brenta Dolomites beneath majestic spires including Brenta Alta, Campanil Basso, Alto, Torre di Brenta, and Crozzon. This <strong>panoramic itinerary</strong> is a celebration of high-altitude cliff faces and runs along exposed ledges (at altitudes of between 2,500m/8,200’ and 2,800m/9,185’) that call for a good head for heights.</p> <p>Perhaps one of the most <strong>beautiful</strong> and most <strong>thrilling</strong> of the Brenta Dolomite trails <strong>featuring panoramas</strong> you won’t find anywhere else. The via ferrata itself takes about 4 hours, but you will need to take account of the round trip to get to the trail (about 4-7 hours) when calculating the total time of your outing.</p> <p>The itinerary can be done either clockwise (from <strong>Rifugio Alimonta</strong> to <strong>Bocca di Brenta</strong>) or counter-clockwise (from <strong>Rifugio Pedrotti</strong> to Bocca di Brenta to Rifugio Alimonta), the latter of which features better lighting conditions. The route is <strong>well equipped</strong> with iron cabling and rungs, but is recommended for expert, physically fit mountaineers due to length, exposure, and technical difficulty.</p>
