The route leads to the top of Sassopiato Peak. You can reach&nbsp;the Sella pass from either valley.

One, reserved for the purists, is to walk along path no. 525. The other is to jump onto the &#8216;coffin&#8217; lift and take yourself to the Sassolungo saddle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose the first, add 1.5 to 2 hours and 500 meters of elevation gain to an already long day.&nbsp;I recommend going with the latter and saving energy for the fun parts. The gondola is open in the summer between mid-June and the first week of October. You will only need a one-way ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the top of the Forcella Sassolungo stands the Toni Demetz hut, where you will start your hike. You have just gained 500 meters of elevation from the bottom of the gondola, and I don&#8217;t have great news for you. You will now lose most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow path 525 through a scree valley, signed for the Rifugio Vicenza (Langkoffelh\u00fctte). You should reach it in 45 minutes to&nbsp;an hour.&nbsp;At the Vicenza hut, the path splits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the signs for via ferrata Oskar Schuster up another scree valley parallel to the one you have just descended. You now have a little over 700 meters of elevation to reach the top of the Sassopiatto &#8211;&nbsp;the objective for today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, you will be&nbsp;going up an unpleasant scree path until you reach the first cables on your right-hand side. This shouldn&#8217;t take longer than 45 minutes from the hut. Once you do,&nbsp;it&#8217;s time for some fun.&nbsp;<\/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\">Stage 2: Via Ferrata Oskar Schuster<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Time required: <\/strong>2.5 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"26667\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-10-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26667\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-10-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-10-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-10-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-10.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"26666\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-9-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26666\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-9-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-9-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-9.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"26665\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-14-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26665\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-14-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-14-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-14-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Via-Ferrata-Oskar-Schuster-14.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Look out for the red paint marks along the route.&nbsp;They will keep you right on track.
