Gustavo and Natale Vidi Via Ferrata, Brenta Dolomites
<p><strong>Panoramic</strong> via ferrata on the high ledges of Pietra Grande, at times <strong>exposed</strong> but not too demanding, in an area of high <strong>geological</strong> and <strong>naturalistic</strong> interest.</p>
<p>Easy via ferrata that can also be suitable for families, often recommended as a first approach to via ferratas. It runs the beautiful <strong>ledges</strong> at the base of the west face of <strong>Pietra Grande</strong> (2937 m) tracing an interesting itinerary on the ledge that is not overly frequented, with <strong>some exposed sections</strong> but overall simple.</p> <p>The via ferrata can be done in both directions, but it is recommended to start from <strong>Passo del Grostè</strong> towards <strong>Rifugio Graffer</strong> since the ascent elevation gain is lower.</p> <p>Built in 1969 by the brothers Natale and Raffaele, both Alpine Guides, and dedicated to their father, Guide Gustavo Vidi; after Natale's death the path was also dedicated to him.</p>
