Via ferrata Averau

The Via Ferrata Averau, graded B, offers a fantastic introduction to via ferrata climbing in the Dolomites. It's an accessible and enjoyable route, suitable for beginners or those looking for a less strenuous adventure. While generally straightforward, it provides just enough exposure and vertical gain to feel like a proper climb. The ascent rewards climbers with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Dolomites, including iconic peaks like Marmolada, Civetta, and the Tofane group. The route typically leads towards the summit of Averau or the vicinity of Rifugio Averau. The return journey is usually a scenic hike, often following the normal path (Sentiero Averau) down. This descent continues to offer stunning vistas and completes a rewarding half-day or full-day excursion, combining the thrill of the via ferrata with a beautiful mountain walk.
