Ferrate in the Badia, Fassa and Gardena Valleys

This guide includes the equipped paths and the via ferratas that progress along the Dolomite mountain reliefs that frame the three Ladin valleys of Gardena, Fassa and Badia.
The description of the 43 itineraries is as detailed as possible, including the classification of technical and environmental difficulties, approach and via ferrata times, total excursion time, altitude gain, physical effort, exposure and maximum altitudes.
The introduction provides historical information on the origin of the via ferratas, an explanation of the classification (which follows the Austrian scale), information on safety in the mountains and along an equipped route and the safety devices necessary.
The author has personally completed the described itineraries, collecting all the useful information on the field and taking most of the photos. The guidec is completed by a detailed map of each route and a valuable drawing that illustrates the route, indicating the key passages and technical difficulties section by section.
The guide is useful both for beginners who want to approach this discipline (thanks to the many easy itineraries included) and for more experienced hikers who will find here some of the most challenging routes in the Dolomites.
