Via ferrata Gustavo & Natale Vidi, Brenta Dolomites

<p>A <strong>panoramic</strong> via ferrata along the upper ledges of <strong>Pietra Grande</strong> that are exposed but not particularly challenging and run through an area of great <strong>natural</strong> and <strong>geological interest</strong>.</p>

<p>An <strong>easy</strong> via ferrata that may be suitable for <strong>families</strong>. It is often recommended as an introduction to the world of via ferratas, and it runs along the amazing ledges at the base of the west face of <strong>Pietra Grande</strong> (2,937m / 9,636 ft) for an enjoyable itinerary along ledges that are not heavily trafficked.</p> <p>There are <strong>some exposed sections</strong>, but the trail is <strong>generally easy</strong>. The via ferrata may be done in either direction, but we recommend doing it from the <strong>Grostè Pass</strong> towards <strong>Rifugio Graffer</strong> due to the lower elevation gain. Created in 1969 by two mountain-guide brothers, Natale and Raffaele, and dedicated to their father, the alpine guide Gustavo Vidi. The trail was also dedicated to Natale following his death.</p>
