You will be thankful for them on all the scree slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#24ad9936\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Because it&#8217;s a full-day excursion, I cannot stress enough how important it is to leave early.

An ample parking area is on the opposite side of the road from\u00a0the chairlift. Follow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/CEe37qjrMGjmouXt6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the link<\/a>\u00a0for directions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#24ad9936\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Use public transport to reach the bottom of the chairlift. Bus no. 030, operated by Dolomiti bus, runs from Cortina. The bus stop&#8217;s name is Rio Gere, and I marked it on the map. The journey time is 16 minutes. Check for schedules <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycicero.it\/dolomiti-bl\/TPWebPortal\/it\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mycicero.it\/dolomiti-bl\/TPWebPortal\/it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The running times of the chairlift<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>During the summer season, the lift remains open from the third week of June until the last week of September, giving a 3-month window for tackling Via Ferrata Ivano Dibona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#24ad9936\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Be aware that the chairlift only runs between 8:30 and 16:30. This 8-hour window usually does not leave enough time to complete the whole route in one day. Since this route can be turned into a loop, I recommend purchasing the return ticket for the chairlift to save money. The ticket stays valid for one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative approach <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are budget-conscious, you can also start the hike directly from Passo Tre Croci along path no. 203 to Rifugio Son Forca. I marked this trail in purple on the map. This will add circa 300 meters (1000 ft) of elevation gain, 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) and a couple of hours to an already long day. I only recommend this option if you plan&nbsp;an overnight stay in Rifugio Son Forca.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Overnight_stay_opportunity_along_Via_Ferrata_Ivano_Dibona\"><\/span>5.

Now, I am making it sound more accessible than it is. As you get higher, the slope becomes looser and looser.

This is a real knee buster after already walking for a few hours. Your legs will be tired.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, you will&nbsp;reach a forest. To the left, you can spot the path leading back to Rifugio Son Forca. From here, it&#8217;s another 90 minutes to walk back, but at least the trees will provide some shade and cool air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to save some energy, as the last 30 minutes before reaching the Son Forca hut are once again steeply uphill. Think about the ice-cold beer you can have at the hut. The last thing on the itinerary is to take the chairlift to the car park. <\/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\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shop_my_via_ferrata_gear_essentials\"><\/span>Shop my via ferrata gear essentials <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/61xvCiBZQGL._AC_SX569._SX._UX._SY._UY_.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:194px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Black Diamond Helmet<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rockfall is a significant concern on via ferrata routes.
