VIA FERRATA<br />
37<br />
Contents<br />
It all started in<br />
the Dolomites in<br />
Italy. The first via<br />
ferratas, used for<br />
transporting troops<br />
and equipment<br />
during WWI, are<br />
now pleasant aerial<br />
access routes<br />
to the summits.<br />
One of these is<br />
the Via Ferrata<br />
de Tomaselli,<br />
which climbs<br />
the South Punta<br />
Fanes, known as<br />
one of the most<br />
difficult in the<br />
region. From the<br />
Rifugio Lagazuoi,<br />
it is possible to<br />
access an entire<br />
series of ledges<br />
and steep walls<br />
with magnificent<br />
views of the Tofana<br />
and other peaks<br />
of the Dolomites<br />
before reaching the<br />
summit at 2980 m.<br />
