Not surprisingly, the place is a popular tourist destination with two excellent “via ferratas”. Italian for “iron path”, a via ferrata is a protected climbing route found in the Alps and certain other locations.
Via ferratas employ steel cables, rungs or ladders that are fixed to the rock. Climbers affix a harness with two leashes, which allows the them to secure themselves to the metal fixture and limit any fall. The cable and other fixtures, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, carved steps, and bridges and ladders, provide both footings and handholds, as well. In this way, hikers can clim on otherwise dangerous routes without the risks of unprotected scrambling and climbing or the need for technical climbing equipment. These routes give the masses an opportunity to access difficult peaks as an alternative to rock climbing and mountaineering, both of which require higher skills and more specialized equipment.


Along the routes, you can find many mementos of WWI, including other shelters at incredible places.
