Dolomiti Palaronda Ferrata Quick Tour South - 2nd stage - Description

Palaronda Ferrata Quick Tours are experiences designed for the lovers of Via ferratas who have just a few days at their disposal.
The Quick Southern Tour runs on the central-southern side of the mountain range of Pale di San Martino with start and finish in San Martino di Castrozza, and includes the Ferrata del Velo, the Ferrata del Porton and several stretches on equipped paths. The overnight stays are intended to be at the Velo della Madonna Hut and the Pradidali Hut.

Directions

  • Start

    Rifugio Velo della Madonna

    From the Velo della Madonna Hut, go up to Cima della Stanga (2.550 m.a.s.l.) along the 742 path (also called the “del Cacciatore” path),  walking down Val Pradidali under the impressive eastern face of Sass Maor. Once you get to the spot called Pedemonte (also “Pòrtela” 1.627 m.a.s.l.) continue on the 709 path towards the Pradidali Hut (2.278 m. s.l.m.).
    Alternatively, from Cima della Stanga it is possible to follow the 747 path (also called “Buzzati” path) instead of the “del Cacciatore” path, which in locality Pedemonte (Portèla) joins the original route.
