Best Hikes to Sass Rigais Summit
Tips
Have a lot of time for the via ferrata! Up the East and down the Southwest Rise is easier than the other way around.

The summit cross of Sass Rigais, the end point of a challenging but extremely rewarding via ferrata. I recommend this hike only for experienced climbers. For a complete guide to the route, including all the technical details and the most exposed sections, don't miss my video:

Super beautiful panoramic mountain and quite easy 3000m with a great hike to the summit. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are absolutely necessary, otherwise the climbing is doable. It's worth leaving early, as the summit is (rightly) one of the most popular in the Dolomites.
