Oliva Detassis Via Ferrata, Brenta Dolomites
Fixed rope route
Oliva Detassis Via Ferrata, Brenta Dolomites
<p>Very <strong>exposed</strong> route, of <strong>medium difficulty</strong>, often tackled as a start or end path of the <strong>Bocchette Alte</strong>. Requires good physical endurance and absence of vertigo.</p>
<p>The Olivia Detassis Via Ferrata leads from the <strong>Lower Massodi Pass</strong> to the <strong>Brentei glacier</strong> passing under the west ridge of <strong>Cima Molveno</strong>.</p> <p>Well equipped with ropes and long vertical ladders, it overcomes a rock wall of about a hundred meters offering <strong>overhanging</strong> passages along <strong>vertical walls</strong> and <strong>narrow ledge paths</strong> that require good athletic skills and <strong>endurance</strong>. The path, above the former Brenta glacier, is a tribute from the Detassis brothers Bruno, Giordano, and Catullo to their mother Oliva.</p> <p>The ferrata takes between 2 and 3 hours, but when calculating overall times, it is necessary to also consider approach and return times (another 4-6 hours).</p>
