Via Ferrata Campanili
-
Latemar wallsPhoto: A. Campanile, APT Val di Fiemme
This excursion requires many hours, a good physical condition and a lot of endurance. The effort is rewarded by the incredible views towards Lake Carezza and the Catinaccio that stand out through the large towers.
You are in the heart of the Latemar group, in the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, areas of disarming beauty.
The via ferrata is only part of the route which, rather crowded at the beginning, will be much less frequented near the equipped path. The hiker will cross paths through the pastures, gravelly sections, large boulders and steps in the ground and on friable rock.
