After a short but intense 15 minutes, you will reach a narrow gully. Because the gully stays in the shade most of the day, it\u2019s prone to icing. The day I picked to traverse the via ferrata Sentiero Massimiliano was only a couple of days after a snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the start of October, the daytime temperatures\u00a0are\u00a0still relatively high. They often plummet to below zero Celsius at night, melting the snow during the day and then freezing it again overnight. This is the perfect recipe for some icy conditions in a few places, including the gully that stays in the shade during the day.\u00a0<\/p>\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=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"25081\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-24-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25081\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-24-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-24-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-24-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-24.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"25082\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-21-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25082\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-21-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-21-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-21-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-21.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=\"25083\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-25-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25083\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-25-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-25-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-25-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Via-Ferrata-Sentiero-Massimiliano-25.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the gully crossing, you will quickly reach a col, where you&#8217;ll get\u00a0an aerial view\u00a0of Alpi Di Siusi.

Thankfully, cables have been installed in the most challenging sections. Make sure you take full advantage of them.
