Via Ferrata Sentiero dei Fiori is probably one of the most famous via ferratas in the Alps.
It is located in the Adamello Brenta mountain group, within its wonderful National Park.
The Sentiero dei Fiori is not only a beautiful Via Ferrata but it is also an ancient military route, built during the First World War.
Accompanied by our Guides, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the largest glacier in Italy in a suggestive environment, as well as a historic war route.
This itinerary can be tackled in one or two days. In the two-day variant, you will have the opportunity to sleep in a comfortable alpine refuge, savoring the food and hospitality that only Italian refuges can offer.
If you want to do the tour in one day, don’t worry, the distances and height differences are not excessive.
The Sentiero dei Fiori is a technically interesting via ferrata, because in addition to the technical value of the climb, there is also the environmental component: the beautiful Adamello glacier.
By tackling this famous itinerary, you will not be disappointed at all by all its alpine characteristics.
We recommend that you are in good physical shape for this outing. We require that you are a good hiker, capable of walking 6-7 hours during the day and climbing up to 700-800 meters of elevation gain easily.
The leading Guide is a fully certified IFMGA Montain Guide.
In the itinerary section you have an example of 2 days activity package.
We take the cable car from Passo del Tonale to Passo Paradiso (2585 metres). From here we start hiking on the trail that crosses over large boulders of the moraine to Passo Castellaccio (2963 metres). Here the “Sentiero dei Fiori” (Trail of the Flowers) starts, a Via Ferrata equipped with a wire cable that runs along the Italian First World War front line. From Corno Lagoscuro (3166 metres), where we find a little bivouac and great views of the Adamello Glacier, the trail continues down to Passo Lagoscuro. From here we follow the trail to Passo Presena (2990m) and then down on the Gondola to Passo Tonale. Up hill: 900m – Down hill: 300m
