3-day Via ferrata degli Alleghesi to the summit of Monte Civetta (3,220m) in the Dolomites

Monte Civetta is a 3,220 m.a.s.l mountain in the Dolomites in the Italian province of Belluno. Come with me on this 3-day program and we’ll take one of the longest via ferratas in the Dolomites to its summit!

On the first day of the program, we’ll start in Piani di Pezze, in Alleghe, and hike for 1 hour to Coldai Hut. We’ll face a 350-meter vertical drop. Then, on the second day, we’ll take a 2-hour trek after the Via Ferrata degli Alleghesi to the top of Monte Civetta, which will take us 4 hours. From the top, we’ll get to see dazzling views of the surroundings. Then, we’ll rest in the Torrani Hut at an altitude of 2,910 meters. Finally, on the third day, we’ll go back to the top and descend through the normal route. Consider that both the second and third days of the itinerary will be demanding. To reach the summit, we’ll face an elevation gain of 800 meters.

As for the requirements, it’s mandatory to have prior climbing experience and a very good level of fitness. Participants should be able to face a difficult via ferrata and a long day of hiking. Keep in mind that due to the high altitude that we’ll face on the summit day, you will need some experience with acclimatization as well.

So, does this 3-day via ferrata to the summit of Monte Civetta sound like something for you? Then don’t hesitate to send the request and book your place on this program!
