The "Via delle Bocchette Centrale - Bocchette Weg" is arguably one of the most iconic and scenically stunning via ferratas in the Brenta Group of the Dolomites. Graded 'B', it falls into the easy to moderate category, making it accessible to those with a good head for heights and basic via ferrata experience. The route is renowned for its spectacular traverse across high, often narrow, and highly exposed ledges carved directly into the impressive rock faces of the Brenta Dolomites. It offers unparalleled panoramic views of surrounding peaks, deep valleys, and expansive glaciers. While not overly vertical, its significant length and constant exposure demand sure-footedness and stamina. The path winds through natural tunnels and occasionally traverses snowfields even in summer, connecting several key mountain huts like Rifugio Alimonta, Rifugio Brentei, and Rifugio Pedrotti. Climbing the Via delle Bocchette Centrale is an unforgettable high-alpine experience, combining natural beauty with the thrill of a classic Dolomite traverse. It's a must-do for any via ferrata enthusiast visiting the region, often forming a highlight of multi-day hut-to-hut adventures.
