The "Sentiero attrezzato delle Laste" (Grade B) is an accessible and highly scenic equipped path, often considered more of a well-secured hiking trail than a challenging via ferrata. Located in the stunning Dolomites, specifically in the Lagazuoi/Cinque Torri area near Passo Falzarego, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of iconic peaks like the Tofane, Lagazuoi, Cinque Torri, and even the Marmolada on clear days. Graded B, it's suitable for beginners, families with some hiking experience, or those looking for a less demanding but immensely rewarding mountain experience. The route traverses rocky ledges, often following historical World War I paths, featuring fixed ropes, a few short ladders, and some exposed sections that are always well-secured. The 'Laste' refers to the characteristic stone slabs or plates encountered along the way. It's an excellent option for exploring the historical significance of the area while immersing oneself in the unparalleled natural beauty of the Dolomites.
