Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Tue, 19/04/2011 - 18:32

Vías Ferratas in Dolomites
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Tue, 30/03/2010 - 10:29
The region between Trentino and Alto Adigie is a Vias Ferratas paradise.
Most of them were built during the First World War and afterwards they were used for sports activities. We have the choice to see some of them during our backcountry skiing in the Vall de Venegia, surrounded by the Mt. Mulaz (2.920m), but we didn´t climb any of them. There are lot of easy climbing and Via Ferrata routes... maybe we must go in summer time!
When to travel to Dolomites
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Fri, 12/03/2010 - 10:27
The best time to do backcountry skiing in the Dolomites is from March untill the end of the season, since the risk of avalanches to climb the mythical peaks is usually quite high for the rest of the season. We went in February and we had three feet of snow, so we made the trips that were out of danger.
