Tofane
Tot: 600 m | Ferrata: 150 m
This route is titled “Via ferrata Maria and Andrea Ferrari,” and allows you to climb Ra Bujèla, the tower to the right of Tofana’s famous Shuss, with the help of steel ropes, two footbridges and some rungs that facilitate the ascent at the steepest points.
Easily reached by the Tofana ski lifts, it is a popular route.
Reach Duca d’Aosta mountain hut with the chairlift from Piè Tofana and from the Rifugio follow the signs for Via Ferrata which in about 15 min will take you to the starting point.
The first part of the route is certainly the most challenging and lends some very exposed parts, on excellent rock. Once reached the first bridge, the difficulties are lowered and once reached the second walkway the path runs through the ridge, on broken rocks: the poor quality of the rock in this section does not prejudice in any way the safety of the ascent, and it is just along this stretch that you can enjoy the magnificent panorama that the Dolomites always give us. A few meters from the top, there is a fork of the cable, climb to the right to the top; on the left instead you will start the descent.
The exit from the ferrata is after a short cable descent. You can return to the starting point by walking down the ski slope and, once you reach the Duca d’Aosta hut, take the Camosci trail, below the Tofana slopes.

Definitely exciting and not very long route that allows, for the most trained, to concatenate also the Olivieri Trail, the Astaldi Trail and even the more challenging Punta Anna.
“È una delle prime ferrate che si libera dalla neve in primavera. Nei periodi in cui gli impianti di risalita non sono ancora aperti, è comodo accedere dalla strada che sale al rifugio Dibona. Se volete fare un giro un po' più lungo, anziché tornare per il sentiero dei camosci, proseguite lungo il sentiero Astaldi e tornate passando per il rifugio Dibona.”
