Beautiful partly equipped route on the Cadini di Misurina Group.

The route, starting from the valley station of the Col de Varda chairlift, cuts from south to north across the Cadini di Misurina Group. The equipped sections are not difficult, but the use of via ferrata equipment is advisable. During the excursion, there is always a splendid panorama.

Author’s recommendation

Obviously not recommended for people who suffer from vertigo. For those who want to reduce the uphill elevation gain, we recommend taking the Col de Varda chairlift.
