    Ascent and descent route to the Western Horn. It has some exposed sections in the upper part but without further particular difficulties

      Hi JtB, when you are at the top of the via ferrata, can you avoid the Vacca pass towards the refuge? (or the western horn?). What are the difficulties? Thanks

        From the arrival of the via ferrata you can go down directly along the west ridge without reaching the summit. It's been a while since I did it but from what I remember it is not particularly difficult, just the usual path a bit steep and narrow
