Wonderful but demanding via ferrata on one of the seven peaks of the Sassolungo Group. The climb develops along the Sassopiatto plateau and, turning to the north, you can admire the view of the Odle. The partly unsecured climb is rewarded with a unique view of the Marmolada and the Alpe di Siusi. This is a long mountain tour due to its descent over the Sasso Piatto ridge. Avoid it if the weather is not absolutely perfect. Pay attention! Potential rockfall – keep your eyes open.
