Information on guided via ferrata trips at Lake Garda Dolomites Alps
In the region of Arco Trentino there are many routes which are accessible in short
time by car from the villages in the Trentino province. The length varies from 250 up to 1300 m.
Some of the routes are following the paths of WW 1 and are suitable for beginners whereas others
are of medium or extreme difficulty. One characteristic all of them have in common: the possible access from
April to October and the wonderful and stunning panorama. In the Brenta Dolomites Trentino the environment
is completely different: the Bocchette del Brenta Trentino are following the ledges and ridges between the big
rock walls and are not too difficult but almost alpinistic. Please read the report on guided Bocchette di
Brenta Trentino by our Alpine School Arco at the link:
www.alpintrek.com
A very
special via ferrata in the Alps of its own kind and which makes part of the
course of the Alpine School Arco is situated in a canyon which used to be a secret escape path from the above
located Drena Castle near Arco. The holes of the old wooden buildings are still visible.
The route itself is not very long but on a short passage some arm strength is requested. The course
of the route is only slightly above the bottom of the canyon. After ca. 50 m there is an emergency exit.
Otherwise you just follow the iron rope and the iron steps. At the end of the route there is a swinging
cable bridge on which you may exercise your balance. A final short steep path is leading to Drena Trentino Castle.

During the base course by the Alpine School Arco, our mountain guides will accompany its
guests on this stunning, alpine and very scenic route. The view over the entire Lake Garda,
Monte Baldo mountain chain, Sarca Valley and the
Brenta Dolomites is simply breathtaking.
Fairly
easy guided via ferrata with short rock climbing passages and exposed paths crossing vertical walls.
Throughout the entire route you may admire the remainders of military war construction owing to which
the route has been presumably built. The iron ropes have been partially renewed and are in a good
condition. For the descent we follow the same direction to Sentiero Mario Foletti, then follow the way signs.

You can enjoy the unique view over
Lake Garda Italy on the long and exposed iron ladders. The "Friendship
Route" with the two famous and never-ending ladders is technically not very difficult but you must absolutely
not suffer from vertigo. It offers unforgettable and breathtaking views into the depth of the Lake Garda and its
valleys. The path leads you over partially equipped rock terrain, always steep but never difficult up to the
first ladder which has more the 100 rungs. On a small platform in the middle you can take a rest and then
follow vertically up. Further up over unsteady terrain and some iron steps we reach the second ladder which
is vertical and about 70 m high. We reach SAT Peak after we have crossed some well equipped rocks and several
short ladders and iron steps, we reach Cima SAT Peak on the top of which there is an iron flag and a breathtaking
view over the entire Dolomites. - medium | hrs. 8 | pax 3/4 | EU 115,00
Guided smuggler trail on the walls of the
Adige Valley in Trentino following antique smugglers' path. Considering the
enormous length of the route, a very good physical condition is a prerequisite. In the beginning there is a short
ladder, then crossing some rocks up to a very exposed ledge with many a hundred of meters below you. Following
the ledge around the left ridge, we are crossing the huge and impressing cave
unique in the Dolomites on a
sometimes rather narrow path which is getting wider towards the final part. On the path crossing the cave there
is no iron cable for belay. Further upwards crossing forest, partially equipped rocks and open terrain we finally
reach the top. - medium | hrs. 8 | pax 3/4 | EU 120,00
A never-ending long trip on an immense and historical wall. Technically average difficulty. Due to the
length of the trip, a very good physical condition is a prerequisite. The trail is evading the steep
passages and takes advantage of the weaker parts of the wall until you finally reach the impressing horizontal
ledge which forms the upper limit of the light-grey limestone slab. Then to the left over some iron steps almost
vertically onto the exposed main section. The following passage is less steep, some without
signs to the green "Cengia del Maurizio" (1200 m.) where you find the summit' s booklet. The first part up to
Doss dei Pini has been renewed in 2005 and has thus become slightly more difficult. The panorama and view of
Monte Casale Peak Casale (1600 m), in the
North the Brenta Group, in the West the Adamello Glacier and in
the East the triangular peak of
Marmolada Dolomites, makes up for the fatigue. - medium | hrs. 9 | pax 3/4 | EU 145,00
Difficult but wonderful 10 minutes from A22 Exit
Very close to Mori village. This route is an ideal exercise for difficult trips. There are very exposed
crossings and difficult vertical climbing passages. Over vertical and overhanging parts and several crossings
up to the easier middle section. The end of the route is reached after a very steep 60 m climb. The Via
Attrezzata
Monte Albano di Mori "Ottorino Marangoni" is one of the first sports
via ferratas in the Dolomites
and is being considered a very demanding route in the Alps. It has lost none of its popularity which is perceivable
when you see the polished rock throughout the whole route. This route is not recommended with rainy weather
and wet rock. - difficult | hrs. 4 | pax 2/3 | EU 95,00
Via ferrata only for experts; one of the most difficult vie ferrate in Europe; the first 60 m and the central
slabs are very demanding. It offers a unique magnificent panorama over the entire valley and its various lakes,
from
Lake Toblino to Lake Garda. It is the most sportive and the most demanding climb in the Lake
Garda region. You must cross a 30 m wall with almost no footholds, equipped only with iron ropes. If you have
problems managing the initial part, should take the emergency exit which is leading to the right and is equipped
with iron ropes. Only at the end the wall is sloping and the major difficulties are over. Then you proceed to
the exit at 950 m and you have reached the top of Piccolo Dain Peak. - extreme | hrs. 6 | pax 2 | EU 155,00
