Climb Cortina d'Ampezzo’s Via Ferrata with an Alpine Guide

Experience the historic via ferratas of the Dolomites from the heart of Cortina d'Ampezzo Historic Centre when you book through Varoom in Cortina d'Ampezzo; these routes were created after the war by following the same rocky paths soldiers used to reach strategic outposts and mountain summits, so as you traverse well-equipped lines you can still see trenches, caves and artifacts from the First World War (1915–18). The routes are fitted with a metal rope anchored to the rock by sturdy nails and are seasonally monitored by qualified personnel to ensure safe passage, while difficulty, length and physical effort vary to suit different tastes - from the gentler “ferrata path,” where you walk protected along exposed sections, to the true via ferrata that climbs more vertical rock faces allowing you to secure and assist yourself with the fixed rope. Whether you’re planning an Outdoor & Nature or Adventure & Thrill experience, these historic, well-maintained routes around the Dolomites offer a unique combination of wartime heritage, dramatic scenery and graded challenges right from Cortina d'Ampezzo Historic Centre.
