Via ferratas in South Tyrol take you where ordinary hiking trails don't reach. Fixed ropes, iron rungs and suspension bridges open up a completely different side of the mountains. Whether you're looking for your first via ferrata in the Dolomites or searching for the best via ferrata routes the Alps have to offer, South Tyrol has something for every level.
Easy via ferratas welcome beginners and families looking for a first taste of vertical adventure, while intermediate and challenging climbing routes reward experienced climbers with some of the most breathtaking scenery in the region. Many of the most iconic via ferratas of the Italian Dolomites run right through South Tyrol, across ridges, rock faces and peaks that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Whether you're planning a single day out or want to combine several via ferratas in one trip, here you'll find all the routes to discover South Tyrol's via ferratas.
