Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites: North, Central and East (Paperback)

Volume 1 of Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites covers the northern central and eastern Dolomites across an area stretching from Val di Fassa to Auronzo.

Instead of grouping routes by mountain ranges the book sets them out according to strategic valley bases, with some guidance on the best bases for attacking each of the routes. The authors, who have first-hand knowledge of guiding all the routes, have developed a completely new grading system, which strives to simplify an extremely subjective topic.

There are descriptions of routes which appeared in the original Cicerone guidebook, and some completely new routes have been added. Mountain ranges covered include Catinaccio, Marmolada, Sella, Puez Odle, Fanes, Tofane, Cristallo, Sesto, Sorapiss, Marmarole.
