From the toughest Punta Anna to the shortest Ra Bujela. In this article, I will bring you closer to the many via ferrata possibilities available in Cortina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12531073999\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beginner_Via_Ferratas_Around_Cortina_DAmpezzo\"><\/span>Beginner Via Ferratas Around Cortina D&#8217;Ampezzo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I tell you which via ferratas around Cortina are great for beginners, I would like to touch briefly on the topic of what a beginner via ferrata really entails.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A beginner via ferrata is a scramble that can be done without any prior experience. However, steady feet and a head for heights are a must! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cable-protected section on a beginner route is usually very short (100 meters or less). Many people often don&#8217;t even bother taking ferrata equipment on this type of route.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not taking equipment\u00a0is something I am strongly against.\u00a0Do\u00a0not underestimate the exposure you will encounter. Even though the\u00a0steep\u00a0sections on the beginner routes are short, it only takes a few seconds for a tragedy to happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fatalities often happen on the easiest of routes (there are plenty of memorial plaques to prove it), and remember, if you come unprepared and get into trouble, your insurance might not cover the cost of a possible mountain rescue if you didn&#8217;t have the right equipment. Not to mention that someone might also have to risk their life to save yours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have written an article about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/beginners-guide-to-via-ferrata-climbing-in-the-italian-dolomites\/\">the ins and outs of via ferrata climbing in the Italian Dolomites<\/a>,\u00a0which covers all the necessary information to tackle your first route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12528719799\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Via_Ferrata_Ra_Gusela\"><\/span>1.

It starts and finishes at Rifugio Dibona, a ca. 20-minute drive from the town&#8217;s centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a long day (roughly 6 hours) and although it only includes\u00a0a very short 10-minute section of stemples, there is no shortage of great views along the way. This is a great\u00a0and lesser-known route that will\u00a0help you\u00a0avoid the bulk of the summer crowds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the\u00a0highlights of this ferrata is the view from Forcella (saddle) Fortananegra towards the jagged peaks of Croda da Lago. Make sure to grab a beer at the rustic Rifugio Giusanni (built right on the saddle), to celebrate a great day in the mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12528718599\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Via_Ferrata_Lamon_and_Formenton\"><\/span>3.

The route begins at the mid-gondola station on the eastern side of Tofana, which is accessible via the Frecia Nel Cielo cable car, departing from Cortina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route heads over the Tofana plateau before an uphill burst gets you to the Bivuoac Barraca Degli Alpini. From there, you&#8217;ll follow a ridgeline southward to the summit of Tofana di Dentro before heading over to the higher summit of Tofana di Mezzo. Jaw-dropping vistas are guaranteed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ferrata still remains high on my to-do list. <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Both times I tried to squeeze it into my busy schedule, while researching for my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/italian-dolomites-guide\/\">Italian Dolomites Guide<\/a>, bad weather stood in the way.<\/span> Because of the exposure, you want to ensure you choose a perfect day for it. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12528720699\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Via_Ferrata_Averau\"><\/span>4.

It&#8217;s the combination of length, difficulty, and views that makes it so special.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Via ferrata Averau is a fairly straightforward route, with a very short cable section. It will be over before you know it. The rest is just a hike to the summit, from where you get amazing views of Rifugio Nuvalou, Monte Pelmo, and the jagged Croda da Lago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to jump to my other article, where I published numerous photographs from a sunset shoot on the summit of Mount Averau, the pinnacle of this via ferrata.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12531074699\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intermediate_Via_Ferratas_Around_Cortina_DAmpezzo\"><\/span>Intermediate Via Ferratas Around Cortina D&#8217;Ampezzo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may first wonder how an intermediate via ferrata differs from a beginner one. The cable time significantly extends on the intermediate routes, often stretching for dozens of meters at a time, with potentially several hundred meters of total wire length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also find that exposure in some places along the intermediate routes becomes more serious, with some sections stretching directly above steep cliffs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, there are always great footholds and excellent protection on these routes, so as long as you use your equipment properly, you will be safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12529154599\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Via_Ferrata_Ra_Bujela\"><\/span>1.

But why would they want to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lounging around at either Rifugio Pomedes afterwards or Rifugio Duca d&#8217;Aosta beforehand, having your photo taken on the two suspension bridges along the way,\u00a0or enjoying a cereal bar at the summit will drastically add to the time. Especially if you plan on hiking up instead of taking the chairlift.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-ra-bujela\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"633\">via ferrata Ra Bujela<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0of a decent grade, but it&#8217;s impeccably thought out and positioned.
