Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites: Vol 1

This comprehensive guidebook covers the via ferratas of the Northern, Central and Eastern Italian Dolomites, featuring several new routes across some of the region's most spectacular mountain groups including Catinaccio, Marmolada, Sella, Puez Odle, Fanes, Tofane, Cristallo, Sesto, Sorapiss and Marmarole.

The first of a two-volume set covering the whole of the Italian Dolomites, this guide spans the area from Val di Fassa to Auronzo. Routes are thoughtfully arranged by strategic valley bases—including Pedraces, Selva, Corvara, Arabba, Val di Fassa, Falzarego, Cortina, Misurina, Sesto and Auronzo—with expert guidance on the best locations for tackling each route.

Written by authors with first-hand knowledge of every route (one of whom now lives in the area), the guide features a completely new grading system designed to simplify this highly subjective topic. Enhanced with new maps, photographs and useful appendices, this is an essential resource for anyone exploring the via ferratas of this stunning mountain region.
