Safety information

All via ferratas come with their own day tour and are well secured: however, they are meant only for experienced climbers.
Make sure you do not suffer from vertigo and can deal with heights, are sure-footed and physically fit, and don’t forget that once you have reached the summit, you will need to climb back down!
We recommend newcomers hire a mountain guide to accompany them.
Climb the via ferratas at your own risk and peril!
To tackle a via ferrata with children, it is advisable to obtain further information and to be
accompanied by a mountain guide.
The via ferratas are not suitable for dogs.

Turn-by-turn directions

On this exposed and very steep via ferrata, surefootedness is non-negotiable: it is suitable only for experienced climbers. The sun does not
reach this ferrata in the mornings. It is a strenuous mountain tour which develops along a
charming yet long descent over the Sella plateau. Avoid it if the weather is not absolutely
perfect.
Access: it takes about 30 minutes from Passo Sella (2,240 m) on path no. 649, heading NE, below the Sella’s towers. The access point is located below a black wall.
Descent: from Piz Sëlva to Piz Miara (2,964 m), descend south-east on a path towards Val Lasties (path no. 649, 647). At the end of Val Lasties, at the last bend of the road, descend 100 m to
the bus stop to Passo Sella.
