Join me on a full day of fascinating climbing on the beautiful Dolomite mountains on the Bepi Zac al Costa via ferrata, that's surrounded by history.

Located along the San Pellegrino Pass (1,918m), the via ferrata follows the Costabella ridge, where a century before was the sight of the Austrian-Italian Front, cluttered with trenches and tunnels, barracks and emplacements. These permanent blemishes are like painful war scars along the mountainside.

The vividness of history matches the stunning scenery experienced from our climb, which makes it such a fantastic opportunity for those who are new to climbing, because the level of difficulty is easy.

From our position in the mountainside, we’ll be able to see two giants of the Dolomites, San Martino and Marmolada. Spectacular views will accompany us the whole time of ascending the via ferrata.

With the level of difficulty being easy, it is more of an open via ferrata than most others. However, due to the nature of the activity, potential participants are expected to have a good level of fitness. 

Get in touch now to reserve your place on the 1-day Bepi Zac al Costa via ferrata in the Dolomites. Experience the thrill of climbing and the soberness of wartime relics.

Giovanni Orlando

Come with me to this via ferrata along the Creste di Costabella and discover a historical site in the Dolomites. We'll follow the Bepi Zac route and learn about an important place used by soldiers during World War I.

First of all, we'll take a lift from San Pellegrino Pass and reach an altitude of 2,300 meters. Then, we'll hike for 40 minutes to the Selle Pass and continue the journey using our climbing equipment.

On the way, we'll find hiking sections and cable routes that will cross the areas used by Italian and Austrian soldiers during World War I. After visiting a photo gallery about this historical period, we'll concentrate on the descent and return to our starting point.

In addition, we'll get to see stunning views of the surrounding peaks in the range, such as the Pala Group, the Rosengarten Group, the Sassolungo and the Marmolada.

As for the itinerary, consider that it can be modified according to the participant's level and the weather conditions.

Although this via ferrata is easy and suitable for beginners, keep in mind that it's mandatory to have a good level of fitness. The program has a duration of 6 hours and we'll face an elevation gain of 450 meters.

1-day Bepi Zac al Costa Via Ferrata in the Dolomites

We had two wonderful days in the Dolomites. Etienne Bernard guided us two days. The first day was easy (as we asked for). the next day he recommended a medium via ferrata trip, it was challenging, but we loved it.
Etienne was very experienced, and guided us on a trip we never could done alone.
