Via Ferrata in Trentino-Alto Adige: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

In this region, you’ll find via ferrata routes to suit all levels. The via ferrata routes were originally created to make mountains more accessible. That means you get access to some awesome mountains like the Marmolada, the tallest mountain in the Dolomites, or high mountain passes like the San Pellegrino Pass. Plus, because most of them were created so long ago, they have some historical significance too as this region is basically the birthplace of this sport.

**The Dolomites **

Named as a UNESCO world heritage site, the Dolomites really are a nature lover's paradise. From high mountains to deep valleys, the Dolomites are a place to visit if you want to be active. Plus, it’s where via ferrata was born, and that legacy lives on in its hundreds of via ferrata routes.

**History **

Many of the via ferrata routes found in the Trentino-Alto Adige region were created over a hundred years ago. In the first world war, these routes allowed troops access to terrain that would have been otherwise to difficult to reach.
