Klettersteige für Anfänger

Die Überschreitung der Cima Rocca ist eher Bergtour als Klettersteig – und doch geben die seilversicherten Stellen einen ganz besonderen Reiz. Der Weg führt zunächst über einfache Rampen, Platten und Stufen, im zweiten Teil werden dann Stollen, Tunnel, Gräben und alte Befestigungsanlagen aus dem ersten Weltkrieg erkundet.

Auch auf den Nachbargipfel – die Cima Capi – führt ein leichter Steig, der wunderbar mit der Runde über die Cima Rocca kombiniert werden kann.

Auch der Steig über den Colodri ist noch für Anfänger geeignet, diese sollten allerdings über Trittsicherheit und etwas Erfahrung im alpinen Gelände verfügen.

Jetzt wird's schwieriger!

Wer bereits einige kürzere Steige erfolgreich gemeistert hat, kann sich an längere und anspruchsvollere Stücke wagen. Hier eignet sich beispielsweise die Via Ferrata Gerardo Sega. Achtung, nur für Schwindelfreie! Denn gleich neben dem zugegebenermaßen sehr schmalen Band geht es mehrere hundert Meter in die Tiefe. 

Einer der ältesten Steige der Region führt auf die Cima S.A.T, eine Felsspitze im Rocchetta Massiv. Charakteristisch für die Via Ferrata dell'Amicizia sind ihre langen Leitersysteme und die alten Stellungen aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg, die wir beim Abstieg besichtigen können.

Ein Panoramaklettersteig, der seinen Namen wirklich verdient hat, ist der Percorso alpinistico Massimiliano Torti. Über ausgesetzte Bänder führt er direkt oberhalb des Sees entlang, dabei sind die Sicherungen schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Für Könner und Höhenjunkies!

Die Ferrata delle Taccole ist nichts für schwache Nerven: Am Kamm des Monte Baldo gelegen fordert dieser Steig einiges an Kraft und Kondition. Zwei kurze und knackige Steige bietet auch die Rundtour Bandiera und Ernesto Franco unterhalb des Monte Spino.
