WHY THIS CLIMB

The most spectacular via ferrata in Trentino

The Ferrata delle Aquile hangs between sky and rock on Cima Paganella, at 2,125 metres. It is not just a vertical route: it alternates walking sections and technical ones, always with an outstanding scenic impact.

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

The Paganella is a natural balcony: the view runs from the blue of Lake Garda to the spires of the Brenta Dolomites, out to the Adige Valley and, on clear days, the Eastern Alps. Among the most thrilling passages are the suspension bridge, which tests balance and focus, and the traverses over the void.

We start from Rifugio Dosso Larici at 1,860 metres, also reachable by the Andalo cable car, and walk across high pastures to the start of the route. Four kilometres and 400 metres of ascent: small numbers, but four and a half hours of full concentration.

This is a demanding via ferrata: you need a head for heights, good fitness and the ability to handle exposure. Not suitable for complete beginners or anyone who has never used a ferrata set. Equipment and alpine guide are included; bring boots, gloves and layered clothing.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's climb the Paganella.

Meeting at Rifugio Dosso Larici (1,860 m)
We meet at Rifugio Dosso Larici, also reachable from the top station of the Andalo cable car. Here the alpine guide hands out and checks helmets, harnesses and ferrata sets, and runs through the route. Then a well-marked trail leads across high pastures with views of the Brenta Dolomites to the start of the climb: an approach that does not tire you but sets the tone. The exact time is shared in the outing's Telegram group.
