Via ferrata Renato de Pol photos

The actual via ferrata is not particularly long (300m, medium difficulty) and traverses the north and north east faces of the Forame mountain chain, a minor western outcrop of the Cristallo group. 500m of metal cables and sections of iron rungs lead through small walls and past rubble terraces to reach the Austrian First World War emplacements and the Punta Ovest del Forame summit (2413m) as well as the Forame de Fora. From Forcella Verde it is also possible to reach the Cristallo’s Forcella Grande and, along the easier Ivano Dibona, reach Forcella Staunies and Rifugio Guido Lorenzi.
