  Discover the dramatic peaks and ridgelines of the Italian Dolomites, home to the world’s greatest concentration of legendary via ferratas, ‘iron way’ climbs that trace airy ledges and vertical walls across this UNESCO World Heritage landscape. From the iconic spires of Tre Cime di Lavaredo to the mighty Marmolada, Sella, and Catinaccio ranges, each route promises adventure amid scenery famed for explosive rock formations, ever-changing colours, and a unique blend of cultures. Ideal for adventurous walkers, scramblers, and climbers with a head for heights, this comprehensive Cicerone guidebook details 75 outstanding via ferratas spanning the northern, central, and eastern Dolomites. Routes range from short, accessible outings to long, technical challenges, offering a wide selection of grades and styles to suit both novices and seasoned ferratisti.

All routes require a helmet, harness, and via ferrata lanyard, and are best enjoyed between June and September, when the Dolomites are at their most accessible. The guidebook features 1:50,000 mapping and detailed colour photo topos for every via ferrata route (with select routes at 1:40,000), making navigation straightforward and route-finding clear even on complex terrain in the Dolomites. Practical advice covers essential equipment, safety, accommodation, getting there, getting around, and route planning, ensuring you embark on your via ferrata journey in the Dolomites with the confidence and knowledge needed for a rewarding experience.
