The 'Sentiero dei Fiori al Tonale,' located in the magnificent Adamello-Presanella group near the Tonale Pass, offers a truly unique via ferrata experience that combines alpine adventure with poignant history. Rated B/C, it presents a moderate challenge, making it accessible for those with some prior via ferrata experience or well-prepared, confident beginners. The route primarily follows old World War I military supply paths, leading climbers through fascinating tunnels, exposed rock traverses, and sections equipped with fixed cables and iron rungs. One of its most iconic features is the spectacular suspension bridge, offering both a thrill and incredible photographic opportunities. Throughout the climb, breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding glaciated peaks, including Presanella and Adamello, unfold. While not overly demanding in terms of technical vertical climbing, the route's exposure and length require good physical condition, a steady head for heights, and essential via ferrata equipment (helmet, harness, and lanyards). The Sentiero dei Fiori is more than just a climb; it's an immersive journey through a historical landscape, making it an absolute highlight for any alpine enthusiast visiting the Tonale region.
