Ferrata del Centenario - Monte Resegone

The Ferrata del Centenario on Monte Resegone is a delightful and accessible via ferrata, classified as a Grade B route. Located in the picturesque Lombardy region of Italy, near the city of Lecco, this ferrata offers an excellent introduction to the world of protected climbing paths without presenting excessive technical challenges.

The ascent is characterized by well-secured sections, primarily featuring fixed steel cables, occasional rungs, and some short ladders, all designed to aid progression and ensure safety. While classified as B, meaning it's generally suitable for beginners with a head for heights and proper equipment, it still provides moments of thrilling exposure. Climbers traverse steep rock faces, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Bergamo Alps, the stunning Lake Como below, and the sprawling Po Valley on clear days.

The Ferrata del Centenario is relatively short and often combined with a hike to the summit of Monte Resegone or integrated into a longer day trip involving various huts like Capanna Monza. The approach typically involves a scenic walk, and the descent is usually via well-marked hiking trails. It's a fantastic option for those looking to experience the excitement of a via ferrata, enjoy magnificent mountain scenery, and build confidence on fixed-rope routes. Proper via ferrata equipment (helmet, harness, ferrata set) is essential.
