Brigata Tridentina | Dolomites Via Ferrata | Italy

The Brigata Tridentina route is one of the most famous and popular fixed rope routes in the Dolomites. The starting point for this tour is the parking lot (1,956m asl) at the gravel pit, about two km below Passo Gardena, towards Corvara/Colfosco. The walk to the starting point of the fixed rope route is very short and only takes a few minutes. Just follow the sign postings. The first part of the “Via ferrata Brigata Tridentina”, also called “Via Ferrata Pisciadù”, immediately starts with a long but easy ladder section leading up a steep rock face. After a short walk through dwarf pine you reach the next climbing section, leading you by the oh-so lovely Pisciadù waterfalls (almost totally dry in this video). If you suffer from vertigo, you won’t enjoy the next section, a large and exposed traverse. After the traverse you have to scale a long series of pegs and handholds, then a chinmey with more pegs. The highlight, however, is located at the end of the rope route: a little shaky suspension bridge, which is of course also a very popular photo motiv. Once past this bridge, a 10 minute walk is all that's left until reaching the Rifugio Pisciadù (2,583 m). Unfortunately for us it was closed for the season. For your way down you can take the Val Mezdì, which is quite easy, but long. We took n° 666 via Val Setus, which is rather steep and had a small iced section. Characteristics Difficulty: difficult Drop: 600 m Time: Way up about 2.5 h, way down about 1.5 h Map: Gruppo Sella-Marmolada Note: very busy in peak season; highlight suspension bridge; tour can be continued to Cima Pisciadù __________________________________________________ FOLLOW Me On Social Media!
