Via ferrata Pisciadu
schwierig, der Paradesteig in der Sella am Grödner Joch, vier Stunden. Viel begangener Klettersteig, nordseitig ausgerichtet, steil, ausgesetzt, mit Drahtseilen, Klammern und einer Leiter gesichert. Höhepunkt ist die schwankende Hängebrücke über eine tiefe Schlucht. Hauptschwierigkeiten alle im oberen Bereich des Steiges.
Via ferrata Pössnecker
Very difficult, vertical tour across the north-western face of the Sella to Piz Selva, 6-7 hours. Very popular, very steep, airy passages. For expert climbers only! With steel ropes, camps, pins and two short ladders. A classic among the vie ferrate. Oldest via ferrata of the Dolomites, built in 1910.
Via attrezzata Piazzetta
Extremely difficult, short but very tiring and very steep via ferrata on Passo Pordoi/Pordoijoch to Piz Boe (3152 m), 5 hours. Few artificial steps, tight steel rope, highly demanding for more than 80 metres. Ascension of one hour, one hour for the via ferrata which then merges into the normal hiking path leading to Piz Boe. One more hour to the highest point of the massive Sella. Descent- 2 hours.
Oskar-Schuster track to the Sasso Piatto/Plattkofel (2955 m)
Moderately difficult, very popular track on a largely untouched route. 5,5 hours. Special experience in a wonderful surrounding up a high peak of the Dolomites. Descent over Friedrich-August-path back to Passo Sella/Sellajoch.
Via ferrata Stevia
Difficult, steep via ferrata at the entrance to the Vallunga/Langental. 5 hours. Splendid tour on a partly quite airy track; with steel ropes and a ladder functioning as a bridge across a gorge. Wonderful part right before reaching the end and coming to a meadow, then not far to the Stevia hut.
Attention: The track is officially closed because of legal disputes, but it is still being used.
