Via ferrata at Monte Paterno

6/9 - 9/15/2026

Drive with the mountain guide to the Auronzo hut (2,330 m).
A 50-minute hike leads to the start of the via ferrata, during which you can already enjoy the stunning UNESCO Dolomite landscape. On the via ferrata, the mountain guide is happy to provide tips and tricks – the route is also perfect for beginners.

Once you reach the summit (2,745 m), you are rewarded with a fantastic panorama and a unique view of the north faces of the Drei Zinnen. After a break at the top, the descent takes you through long tunnels from World War I, when part of the front ran right through the Dolomites.

The via ferrata adventure ends at the Drei Zinnen hut, from where you hike back to the starting point.

For the descent, the following options are available:
- hike back to the Auronzo hut and return with the mountain guide
- independent descent via Fischlein- or Innerfeldtal (approx. 3.5 hours)
- independent continuation to the Büllelejochhütte and descent into the Fischleintal (approx. 4.5 hours)
In the case of the independent continuation, the return journey is made using public buses.
