Ferrata degli Angeli

Climbing the "Ferrata degli Angeli," located near Cortina d'Ampezzo in the heart of the Dolomites, is an unforgettable alpine experience aptly named for its breathtaking, truly heavenly views. Graded B/C, it strikes a perfect balance, offering an exciting challenge without being overly demanding, making it accessible to climbers with some prior via ferrata experience and a good head for heights.

The route itself is a testament to clever engineering, winding its way up impressive rock faces. While predominantly B, meaning relatively easy stretches with fixed cables and occasional steps, the C sections introduce more exposure, longer vertical climbs, and require greater arm strength and precise foot placement. You'll navigate a thrilling mix of traverses, ladders, and exposed sections where the majestic panorama of the surrounding Dolomite peaks, including prominent massifs like the Tofane group and verdant valleys, unfolds beneath you.

What truly sets Ferrata degli Angeli apart are the unparalleled views. From its airy perches, you're treated to expansive vistas of jagged peaks, lush valleys, and possibly distant lakes. The sense of achievement upon reaching the summit, coupled with the stunning scenery, is immensely rewarding. This via ferrata is ideal for those looking to progress beyond easier routes, seeking a moderate adventure with significant exposure and incredible photographic opportunities. It's a journey that lifts your spirits as high as the angels themselves.
