Program:

The Dantercepies cable car from Selva di Val Gardena takes you up towards Gardena Pass. From the top station, the start of the via ferrata is reached quickly. Here, your mountain guide will provide an introduction along with useful tips and techniques to safely and enjoyably complete the route. The Little Cir via ferrata is ideal for anyone looking to discover the world of via ferratas.

The route initially follows a rocky ridge (up to difficulty B) and offers an escape option along the way for descent. The second section leads via a ladder into steeper wall passages (up to B/C). The narrow summit rewards climbers with spectacular views of the Western Dolomites. The descent is initially secured, then continues down a gully back to the starting point.
