Climbing the Via Ferrata Croda Rossa di Sesto (Sexten Rotwand) is an exceptional experience, particularly due to its profound historical significance. Graded A/B, it stands as one of the easier via ferratas, making it an excellent choice for beginners or those seeking a less exposed yet highly rewarding mountain adventure. The route intricately follows the historic WWI front line, functioning effectively as an open-air museum. Climbers traverse meticulously preserved trenches, navigate dark tunnels (a headlamp is essential!), and ascend sections equipped with fixed ropes and ladders. While not technically demanding, a basic level of fitness, a good head for heights, and proper via ferrata equipment are crucial for a safe and enjoyable ascent. The reward for your efforts is breathtaking panoramic views of the Sesto Dolomites and the surrounding majestic peaks, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and stunning natural beauty.
