More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Guidebook to the via ferratas of Northern, Central and Eastern Italian Dolomites, featuring several new routes. Areas covered include Catinaccio, Marmolada, Sella, Puez Odle, Fanes, Tofane, Cristallo, Sesto, Sorapiss and Marmarole. Routes are arranged by valley bases - Pedraces, Selva, Corvara, Arabba, Val di Fassa, Falzarego, Cortina, Misurina, Sest and Auronzo. The first of a two-volume set of guides to the whole of the Italian Dolomites, this book covers an area stretching from Val di Fassa to Auronzo, while Volume 2 covers the Southern Dolomites, Brenta and Lake Garda. The guide sets the routes out according to strategic valley bases, with some guidance on the best bases for attacking each of the routes. The authors, one of whom now lives in the area, have had first-hand knowledge of all the routes, and have developed a completely new grading system, which strives to simplify an extremely subjective topic. Featuring new maps and photographs and lots of useful appendices.

Format:Paperback
I have done dozens of the ferratas described in this and its sister guide and consider them amongst the very best guides produced by Cicerone. The authors must have put in a tremendous amount of effort to produce such comprehensive guides. My only niggle is that the difficulty of some of the routes is often overstated, this has occasionally put me off, but VFs can be dangerous and the authors have to err on the side of caution.
Format:Paperback
I used this book on a recent holiday to Corvara. It is very well written and gives excellent information on a range of via feratta options whether you are new to it (like me) or more experienced. There are also some good photos and maps in the book. If you are looking for a guide book on this type of holiday then I thoroughly recommend this book.
Format:Paperback
The only English guide available that I could find. However it was extremely comprehensive. The descriptions are very accurate, and you won't get lost.

Good book spoilt
This is an excellent book unfortunately marred by some defective printing on some pages. The printing was smudged and the text unreadable.

Review from a novice
You can use the book and follow the via ferratas without any further maps (though they are always useful) as foot paths are very well marked in the area. Read more
