Via Ferrata delle Bocchette Alte — via ferrata in Madonna di Campiglio

Dolomiti di Brenta · Madonna di Campiglio, Trentino-Alto Adige

The classic, high-alpine route through the highest parts of the Brenta group — long, demanding and considered more alpine in character than the easier Centrali version. It includes, among other things, a long 68-rung ladder nicknamed the 'friendship ladder'.
