Via Ferrata at the Costoni di Croda Rossa di Sesto

DESCRIPTION
Moderately difficult via ferrata that leads to the summit of the Croda Rossa di Sesto.
Challenging excursion both because there are equipped sections, and because of the length and exposure to the north. Along the way you will come across the remains of barracks from the First World War and you will enjoy a magnificent panorama of the surrounding peaks.
From Val Fiscalina, where there is a large car park near the Hotel Bad Moos Dolomites, we took the Croda Rossa gondola to the top. This saves about 600 meters in altitude.

ITINERARY
At the Croda Rossa meadows (1925 m) follow path no. 15 and you arrive at Castelliere/Burgstall (2168 m). Continue to climb and shortly after the aided path begins. Arrived at the remains of barracks from the First World War (2635 m) continue to climb alternating sections equipped with paths. Once you reach the Cima Croda Rossa di Sesto (2965 m), where there is a large summit cross, you return to the starting point by the same road.
